2 Corinthians 8:12
_ _ For — Following up the rule “out of that which ye have” (2 Corinthians 8:11), and no more.
_ _ a willing mind — rather, as Greek, “the readiness,” namely, to will, referring to 2 Corinthians 8:11.
_ _ accepted — Greek “favorably accepted.”
_ _ according to that a man hath — The oldest manuscripts omit “a man.” Translate, “According to whatsoever it have”; the willing mind, or “readiness” to will, is personified [Alford]. Or better, as Bengel, “He is accepted according to whatsoever he have”; so 2 Corinthians 9:7, The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.” Compare as to David, 1 Kings 8:18. God accepts the will for the deed. He judges not according to what a man has the opportunity to do, but according to what he would do if he had the opportunity (compare Mark 14:8; and the widow’s mite, Luke 21:3, Luke 21:4). |
2 Corinthians 8:12
A man — Every believer. Is accepted — With God. According to what he hath — And the same rule holds universally. Whoever acknowledges himself to be a vile, guilty sinner, and, in consequence of this acknowledgment, flies for refuge to the wounds of a crucified Saviour, and relies on his merits alone for salvation, may in every circumstance of life apply this indulgent declaration to himself. |
2 Corinthians 8:12
(6) 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.
(6) Against those who excused themselves because they are not rich, as though it were only the duty of rich men to help the poor. |
