Completing the Collection for the Saints
8:1 Now we make known to you , brothers and sisters , the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia ,
8:2 that during a severe ordeal of suffering , their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their generosity .
8:3 For I testify , they gave according to their means and beyond their means . They did so voluntarily ,
8:4 begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping the saints .
8:5 And they did this not just as we had hoped , but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God .
