King James Version
"For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not."
— 2 Corinthians 8:12, King James Version
“For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. ”
“For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have.”
“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 if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not.”
“For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.”
“For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.”
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
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.
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.
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
