2 Corinthians 8:10
Douay-Rheims
And herein I give my advice; for this is profitable for you, who have begun not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

The sense seems to be, that they not only began the last year to do it, to contribute, but that they were the first that had this will, and began it of their own accord, by a motion of their own will. And therefore in the next chapter (ver. 2.) he boasted of their ready mind to the Macedonians, and that their zeal or emulation had incited a great many. (Witham)
