2 Corinthians 8:2-6

CAB(i) 2 how that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their generosity. 3 For I bear witness that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, 4 with much appeal, begging us for the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints-- 5 and not as we hoped, but they first gave their own selves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God, 6 so that we urged Titus, that just as he had begun before, thus he would also finish this grace also in you.
