1Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;

2how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

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

4beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:

5and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
