For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves;	Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.	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.
