2 Corinthians 8:3-5
Wycliffe Bible
3 For I bear witnessing to them, after might and above might they were willful [after virtue, or power, and above virtue they were willful],
4 with much admonishing beseeching us the grace and the communing of [the] ministering, that is made to holy men.
5 And not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, afterward to us by the will of God.

2 Corinthians 8:3-5
New International Version
3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able,(A) and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing(B) in this service(C) to the Lord’s people.(D) 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.
