2 Corinthians 8:2-5

New American Standard Bible

² that in a ^[a]great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the ^(A)wealth of their liberality. ³ For I testify that ^(B)according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave voluntarily, ⁴ begging us with much urging for the ^(C)favor ^[b]of participation in the ^[c](D)support of the ^[d]saints, ⁵ and this, not as we had ^[e]expected, but they first ^(E)gave themselves to the Lord and to us by ^(F)the will of God.
