The Generosity of the Macedonians

2 Corinthians 8:1-6

We doe you also to wit, brethren, of the grace of God bestowed vpon the Churches of Macedonia,

Because in great triall of affliction their ioy abounded, and their most extreme pouertie abounded vnto their rich liberalitie.

For to their power (I beare record) yea, and beyonde their power, they were willing,

And praied vs with great instance that we woulde receiue the grace, and fellowship of the ministring which is toward the Saints.

And this they did, not as we looked for: but gaue their owne selues, first to the Lord, and after vnto vs by the will of God,

That we should exhort Titus, that as hee had begon, so he would also accomplish the same grace among you also.
