‘And
now brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God
has given the Macedonian churches. Out of the most severe
trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled
up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much
as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely,
on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege
of sharing in this service to the saints. And they did not
do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the
Lord and then to us in keeping with God’s will. So
we urged Titus, since he had earlier made a beginning, to
bring also to completion this act of grace on your part.
But just as you excel in everything – in faith, in
speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your
love for us – see that you also excel in this grace
of giving.’ 2 Corinthians 8: 1-7
