2 Corinthians 8:2-5 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ² for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their liberality. ³ For I testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, they gave of their own free will, ⁴ urgently pleading with us for the privilege of sharing in the relief of the saints. ⁵ And they did not do as we expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.
