2In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
3For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,
4they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
— 2 Corinthians 8:2-4
