2 Corinthians 8 v 1-9
The Collection for the Lord’s People
1 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God
has given the Macedonian churches.
2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their
overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
3 For I
testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their
ability. Entirely on their own,
4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of
sharing in this service to the Lord’s people.
5 And they exceeded our
expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will
of God also to us.
6 So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a
beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part.
7 But since
you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete
earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel
in this grace of giving.
8
I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by
comparing it with the earnestness of others.
9 For you know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor,
so that you through his poverty might become rich.
