This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is there (prokeitai). Lies before one. Old word.
Acceptable (euprosdektos). See note on 2Co 6:2.
According as a man hath (katho ean echēi). Indefinite comparative clause with ean and present subjunctive echei. Clearly God does not expect us to give what we do not have.
Not according as he hath not (ou katho ouk echei). Note present indicative rather than subjunctive because a specific case is presented. See 2Co 9:7; Mar 12:43.
