1. I don’t need to write anything further to you about helping the Christians ⌊in Jerusalem⌋.
2. I know how willing you are to help, and I brag about you to the believers in the province of Macedonia. I tell them, “The people of Greece have been ready ⌊to send their collection⌋ since last year,” and your enthusiasm has moved most of them ⌊to act⌋.
3. I’ve sent my coworkers so that when we brag that you’re ready, we can back it up.
