2 Corinthians 8:1

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 ^atheir 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 urgency¹ that we would receive the gift and ^athe fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

5 And not only as we had hoped, but they first ^agave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the ^bwill of God.
