2 Corinthians 8:2-7 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy, even from the depth of their poverty, abounded for the wealth of their generosity,

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy, even from the depth of their poverty, abounded for the wealth of their generosity, ³ so that according to their ability, I testify, and beyond their ability, willingly, ⁴ with much exhortation, begging of us the favor, even the fellowship of service for the sanctified. ⁵ And it was not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God, ⁶ for us to urge Titus that, as he earlier began this kindness, so he would even finish it for you also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, so that ye may also abound in this kindness.
