Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

What else did their good purposes and good beginnings signify? Good purposes, indeed, are good things; they are like buds and blossoms, pleasant to behold, and give hopes of good fruit; but they are lost, and signify nothing, without performances.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

perform--"complete the doing also" (see on 2Co 8:10). a readiness to will--Greek, "the readiness of will"; referring to 2Co 8:10, where the Greek for "to be forward," ought to be translated as here, "to will." performance--"completion" [ALFORD], The godly should show the same zeal to finish, as well as to begin well, which the worldly exhibit in their undertakings (Jer 44:25).
