2 CORINTHIANS 8:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“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.”

Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, just as your eagerness has been matched by your ability to complete it — *completion* (apertía) moves from intention to act. The verb *apoteléō* means to finish fully; Paul urges the Corinthians to align deed with will, translating spiritual disposition into material reality. Sincerity is measured in completion.
