2 Corinthians 8:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
2
that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.
3
For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability,
they gave
voluntarily,
4
begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints,
5
and
this,
not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.
6
So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.
King James Version
Chapter 8
2
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4
Praying us with much intreaty 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 hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
2
During a severe trial brought about by affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
3
I can testify that, according to their ability and even beyond their ability, of their own accord,
4
they begged us earnestly for the privilege of sharing in the ministry to the saints,
5
and not just as we had hoped. Instead, they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us by God’s will.
6
So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete among you this act of grace.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
2
They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.
3
For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will.
4
They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem.
5
They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.
6
So we have urged Titus, who encouraged your giving in the first place, to return to you and encourage you to finish this ministry of giving.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
2
for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
3
For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,
4
begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints —
5
and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
6
Accordingly, we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace.
New International Version
Chapter 8
2
In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
3
For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,
4
they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people.
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.
6
So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
2
that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.
3
For I bear witness that according to
their
ability, yes, and beyond
their
ability,
they were
freely willing,
4
imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5
And not
only
as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and
then
to us by the will of God.
6
So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.
