Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ BUT we make known to you, my brethren, the grace of Aloha which hath been given to the churches of Makedunia; ² that in the great trial of their affliction there hath been an abounding of their joy; and the depth of their poverty hath been exceeded by the riches of their simplicity. ³ For I testify, that according to their power, and more than their power, in the willingness of their soul, ⁴ they besought of us, with much supplication, that they might participate in the beneficence of the ministry for the saints. ⁵ And not as we had supposed, but they gave themselves up first to the Lord, and also to us by the will of Aloha.
