2 Corinthians 8:1-5

1NowG1161, brethrenG80, we wish to makeG1107 knownG1107 to you the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which has been 1givenG1325 in the churchesG1577 of 2MacedoniaG3109,

2that in a greatG4183 ordealG1382 of afflictionG2347 their abundanceG4050 of joyG5479 and their deepG899 povertyG4432 overflowedG4052 in the 3wealthG4149 of their liberalityG572.

3For I testifyG3140 that 4accordingG2596 to their abilityG1411, and beyondG3844 their abilityG1411, they gave of their ownG830 accordG830,

4beggingG1189 us with muchG4183 urgingG3874 for the 5favorG5485 6of participationG2842 in the 78supportG1248 of the 9saintsG40,

5and this, not as we had 10expectedG1679, but they firstG4413 11gaveG1325 themselvesG1438 to the LordG2962 and to us by 12the willG2307 of GodG2316.
