2 Corinthians 8:4

Generosity In Giving

³ For to their ability, I bear record, yea, and beyond their ability they were willing of themselves; ⁴ Begging us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not as we expected, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
