Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
就是他们在患难中受大试炼的时候，仍有满足的快乐，在极穷之间，还格外显出他们乐捐的厚恩。

And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so.
我在这事上把我的意见告诉你们，是与你们有益。因为你们下手办这事，而且起此心意，已经有一年了。


林后8:11
Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.
如今就当办成这事。既有愿作的心，也当照你们所有的去办成。

For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
