Bible Verses About Liberality: Churches of Macedonia

Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia;

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

For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the holy ones.

This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
