2 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and (A)their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality. 3 For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, 4 imploring us with much urgency [a]that we would receive the gift and (B)the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5 And not only as we had hoped, but they first (C)gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the (D)will of God. 6 So (E)we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well. 7 But as (F)you abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see (G)that you abound in this grace also.

2 Corinthians 8:2-7
New International Version
2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.(A) 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able,(B) and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing(C) in this service(D) to the Lord’s people.(E) 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged(F) Titus,(G) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion(H) this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything(I)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(J) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
