2 Corinthians 8:4

Generosity In Giving

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.
