'Need' in the Bible

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? We don't need letters of recommendation to you or from you as some other people do, do we?

At the present time, your abundance will meet their need, so that one day their abundance may also meet your need, and thus there may be equality,

When I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
