Worsley(i)
1 Now we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God conferred on the churches of Macedonia:
2 how in a great trial of affliction, their abundant chearfulness and their deep poverty, hath munificently shewn the riches of their bounty.
3 For to their power, I bear them witness, yea and beyond their power, they contributed of their own accord:
4 intreating us with much importunity, that we would convey the gift, and so take upon us a part of the ministration to the saints.
5 And this they did not merely as we hoped, but first gave themselves unto the Lord, and to us by the will of God.
