2 Corinthians 8:10

10 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.

Ver. 10. But also to be forward ] Gr. to be willing. This the apostle makes to be more than to do, that is, than to do with an ill will, or for by-respects. Virtus nolentium nulla est. Christ will enjoy his spouse’s love by a willing contract, not by a ravishment; the title of all converts is a willing people,Psalms 110:3; Psalms 110:3 .
