2 Corinto 8:3-5
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
3 Sapagka't ayon sa kanilang kaya, ay nagpapatotoo ako at higit pa sa kanilang kaya, ay nagsiabuloy sila sa sariling kalooban,
4 Na lubhang ipinamamanhik sa amin ang tungkol sa biyayang ito at sa pakikisama sa pangangasiwa ng mga abuloy sa mga banal:
5 At ito, ay hindi ayon sa aming inaasahan, kundi ibinigay muna nila ang kanilang sarili sa Panginoon, at sa amin sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Dios.
