2 Corinthians 8:10 Context
8I speake not by commandement, but by occasion of the forwardnesse of others, and to prooue the sinceritie of your loue. 9For yee know the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poore, that yee through his pouertie might be rich. 10And herein I giue my aduice, for this is expedient for you, who haue begun before, not onely to doe, but also to be forward a yeere agoe. 11Now therefore performe the doing of it, that as there was a readinesse to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which you haue. 12For if there bee first a willing minde, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
