1. Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.
2. That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy; and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.
3. For according to their power (I bear them witness), and beyond their power, they were willing.
4. With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.
