Second Letter to the Corinthians

Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia;

how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.

For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

begging us with much entreaty in regard to this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
