Encouragement to Give Generously

1 We want you to know, brothers,^a about the grace of God that has been ¹given among the churches of Macedonia,

2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and ²their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

3 For they gave ³according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,

4 begging us earnestly ⁴for the favor^b of taking part in ⁵the relief of the saints--

5 and this, not as we expected, but they ⁶gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.

6 Accordingly, ⁷we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you ⁸this act of grace.

7 But as ⁹you excel in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you^c--¹⁰see that you excel in this act of grace also.

8 ¹¹I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ¹²though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

10 And in this matter ¹³I give my judgment: ¹⁴this benefits you, who ¹⁵a year ago started not only to do this work but also to desire to do it.

11 So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have.

12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable ¹⁶according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

13 For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness

14 your abundance at the present time should supply ¹⁷their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness.

15 As it is written, ¹⁸"Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack."
