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.

* The give readily and willingly.

there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that
which ye have.

there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and
not according to that he hath not.
* They give bountifully and cheerfully.

reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully.

man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or
of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
* Lastly God said to the faithful givers to the work of
the Lord.
