Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Is there (prokeitai). Lies before one. Old word.
Acceptable (euprosdektov). See on 2 Corinthians 6:2.
According as a man hath (kaqo ean exh). Indefinite comparative clause with ean and present subjunctive exei. Clearly God does not expect us to give what we do not have.
Not according as he hath not (ou kaqo ouk exei). Note present indicative rather than subjunctive because a specific case is presented. See 2 Corinthians 9:7; Mark 12:43.
