NET Bible
"to finish what you started, so that just as you wanted to do it eagerly, you can also complete it according to your means."
— 2 Corinthians 8:11, NET Bible
“Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.”
“But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. ”
“But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.”
“Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.”
“Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.”
“Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.”
I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.
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,
to finish what you started, so that just as you wanted to do it eagerly, you can also complete it according to your means.
For if the eagerness is present, the gift itself is acceptable according to whatever one has, not according to what he does not have.
For I do not say this so there would be relief for others and suffering for you, but as a matter of equality.
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,
