2 Corinthians 8:4-5 King James Version (KJV)
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
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.
2 Corinthians 8:4-5 English Standard Version (ESV)
4 begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints— 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
4 We should pray for other Christians and help in ways we can and pray about how much we should help each other. This may refer to them praying about the persecution the church was facing that it would end.
5 We need to first submit to the Lord and then we will be where we should be with others so we need to encourage others first to be right with the Lord.
