1 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace God gave the churches in Macedonia.
2 They have been tested by great troubles, and they are very poor. But they gave much because of their great joy.
3 I can tell you that they gave as much as they were able and even more than they could afford. No one told them to do it.
4 But they begged and pleaded with us to let them share in this service for God’s people.
