English Standard Version
2 Corinthians 8:2-5
2for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
3For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,
4begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints—
5and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
