2 Corinthians 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.
οτι εν πολλη δοκιμη θλιψεως η περισσεια της χαρας αυτων και η κατα βαθους πτωχεια αυτων επερισσευσεν εις τον πλουτον της απλοτητος αυτων

3   For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
οτι κατα δυναμιν μαρτυρω και υπερ δυναμιν αυθαιρετοι

4   Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
μετα πολλης παρακλησεως δεομενοι ημων την χαριν και την κοινωνιαν της διακονιας της εις τους αγιους δεξασθαι ημας

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.
και ου καθως ηλπισαμεν αλλ εαυτους εδωκαν πρωτον τω κυριω και ημιν δια θεληματος θεου

6   Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
εις το παρακαλεσαι ημας τιτον ινα καθως προενηρξατο ουτως και επιτελεση εις υμας και την χαριν ταυτην

7   Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
αλλ ωσπερ εν παντι περισσευετε πιστει και λογω και γνωσει και παση σπουδη και τη εξ υμων εν ημιν αγαπη ινα και εν ταυτη τη χαριτι περισσευητε

8   I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
ου κατ επιταγην λεγω αλλα δια της ετερων σπουδης και το της υμετερας αγαπης γνησιον δοκιμαζων

9   For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
γινωσκετε γαρ την χαριν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου οτι δι υμας επτωχευσεν πλουσιος ων ινα υμεις τη εκεινου πτωχεια πλουτησητε
