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.  

Christ Our Pattern

8 aI speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.  
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, athat though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become brich.
