2 Corinthians 8:3-5

MNT(i) 3 For I can testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, of their own free will, too, they have given help. 4 With earnest entreaty they craved of me the privilege of a share in ministering to the saints in Jerusalem. 5 And this not as I had expected, but in accordance with the will of God, they first gave themselves to God and to me.
