2 Corinthians 8:3-5

Darby Translation

³ For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord,

⁴ begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints.

⁵ And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.
