2 Corinthians 8:3

Excel in Giving

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.

6 So ^awe urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

7 But as ^ayou abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see ^bthat you abound in this grace also.
