2 Corinthians 8:2 DBY

¹  But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;

²  that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their [free-hearted] liberality.

³  For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord,

⁴  begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints.
