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.
Perform - `but now also complete the doing' (note, 2 Corinthians 8:10).
A readiness to will - Greek, 'the readiness of willing;' referring to 2 Corinthians 8:10 (Greek for "to be forward," as here, "to will").
Performance - `completion.' There had been already a doing flowing from willing, in their laying by in store as God prospered them each first day of the week: that doing needed now to be completed by their paying in their charity. The godly should show the same zeal to finish as to begin well which the worldly exhibit in their undertakings (Jeremiah 44:25).
