2 Corintios 8

et non seulement selon que nous avions espéré, mais ils se sont donnés premièrement eux-mêmes au Seigneur, et ensuite à nous, selon la volonté de Dieu ;

Y no como lo esperábamos, mas aun á sí mismos se dieron primeramente al Señor, y á nosotros por la voluntad de Dios.

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.

This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
