NASB
"I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it."
— 2 Corinthians 8:10, NASB
“And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.”
“And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. ”
“I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.”
“So here is my opinion on this matter: It is to your advantage, since you made a good start last year both in your giving and your desire to give,”
“And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago.”
“And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.”
“And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.”
But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also.
I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.
But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.
For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.
For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality--
