2 Corinthians 8:2

that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth ¹  of their generosity.

Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.

that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

Though they have been going through much trouble and hard times, their wonderful joy and deep poverty have overflowed in rich generosity.

Fierce troubles came down on the people of those churches, pushing them to the very limit. The trial exposed their true colors: They were incredibly happy, though desperately poor. The pressure triggered something totally unexpected: an outpouring of pure and generous gifts.

How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.

for during a severe ordeal of affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.

that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth ¹  of their generosity.
