2 Corinthians 8:1-5 (Epistle)

1
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:
2
that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.
3
For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,
4
imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5
And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.
