1NowG1161, brothersG80 and sisters, we makeG1107 knownG1107 to you the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which has been 1givenG1325 in the churchesG1577 of 2MacedoniaG3109,
2that in a 3greatG4183 ordealG1382 of afflictionG2347 their abundanceG4050 of joyG5479 and their deepG899 povertyG4432 overflowedG4052 in the 4wealthG4149 of their liberalityG572.
3For I testifyG3140 that 5accordingG2596 to their abilityG1411, and beyondG3844 their abilityG1411, they gave voluntarilyG830,
4beggingG1189 us with muchG4183 urgingG3874 for the 6favorG5485 7of participationG2842 in the 89supportG1248 of the 10saintsG40,
5and this, not as we had 11expectedG1679, but they firstG4413 12gaveG1325 themselvesG1438 to the LordG2962 and to us by 13the willG2307 of GodG2316.
