1 And so we are making known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given in the churches of Macedonia. 2 For within a great experience of tribulation, they have had an abundance of joy, and their profound poverty has only increased the richness of their simplicity. 3 And I bear witness to them, that they were willing to accept what was in accord with their ability, and even what was beyond their ability. 4 For they were begging us, with great exhortation, for the grace and the communication of the ministry that is with the saints. 5 And this is beyond what we had hoped, since they gave themselves, first of all to the Lord, and then also to us, through the will of God, 2 Corinthians 8:1-5, Catholic Public Domain Version.
