2 Corinthians 8:2-4

Lamsa(i) 2 How that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep rooted poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 3 For to their power, I can testify, yes, and beyond their power they have shared of their own accord. 4 And besought us most earnestly that they might be partakers in the gift for the ministration to the saints.
