- 1 We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,
- 2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
- 3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,
- 4 begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints –
- 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
- Reading – [2 Corinthians 9:6-12 ESV]
-
- 6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
- 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
- 9 As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
- 10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
- 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
- 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.
