2 Corinthians 8:10 in Context — 2 Corinthians 8

8 No hablo como quien manda, sino para poner á prueba, por la eficacia de otros, la sinceridad también de la caridad vuestra.

9 Porque ya sabéis la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que por amor de vosotros se hizo pobre, siendo rico; para que vosotros con su pobreza fueseis enriquecidos.

10 Y en esto doy [mi] consejo; porque esto os conviene á vosotros, que comenzasteis antes, no sólo á hacerlo, mas aun á quererlo desde el año pasado.

11 Ahora pues, llevad también á cabo el hecho, para que como [estuvisteis] prontos á querer, así también [lo estéis] en cumplir conforme á lo que tenéis.

12 Porque si primero hay la voluntad pronta, será acepta por lo que tiene, no por lo que no tiene.
