2 Corinthians 8:1-7

1Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 2That in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.1 3For to their power, I bear witness, and even beyond their power they were willing of themselves; 4Begging us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. 6So that we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.2

7Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
