2 Corinthians 8:1-5 (New American Standard)
Great Generosity
1 Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been 1given in the churches of 2Macedonia, 2 that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the 3wealth of their liberality. 3 For I testify that 4according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord, 4 begging us with much urging for the 5favor aof participation in the b6support of the csaints, 5 and this, not as we had dexpected, but they first 7gave themselves to the Lord and to us by 8the will of God.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
