WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But we desire to let you know, brethren, of the grace of God which has been bestowed on the Churches of Macedonia; ² how, while passing through great trouble, their boundless joy even amid their deep poverty has overflowed to increase their generous liberality. ³ For I can testify that to the utmost of their power, and even beyond their power, they have of their own free will given help. ⁴ With earnest entreaty they begged from us the favour of being allowed to share in the service now being rendered to God's people.
