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.

2 Corinthians 8:3

II Corinthians 8:3 For to [their] power . . . and beyond [their] power. It was not the greatness of their contribution, but the fact that they gave not only up to, but even beyond their ability, which made their liberality so rich. The widow who gave her mite did more than the rich men who cast in out of their abundance. Compare Mark 12:41-44 Lu 21:1-4. [They were] willing of themselves. Required no urging.
