2 Corinthians 8:1-7 ▼

1 Now we make known to you?, brothers, the grace of God having been given in the churches of Macedonia,

2 that in much proof of tribulation, the abundance of their joy and of their deep poverty abounded into the riches of their generosity.

3 For I testify that according to their power and beyond their power, of their own accord,

4 with much entreaty they were imploring us for the grace and the fellowship of the service to the saints.

5 And not even as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

6 Accordingly, we exhorted Titus that just as he began before, so also he might complete to you? also this grace,

7 but just as you? abound in everything—in faith and word and knowledge and all earnestness and in the love from us in you?—that also you? may abound in this grace.
