2 Corinthians 8:1-8

NOW we inform you, brethren, of the grace of God which hath been bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, hath more abounded to the riches of their liberality. For unto their power, I bear them witness, and above their power, they were voluntarily ready [to give]: read more.
with much entreaty praying us that we would receive the gift, and [undertake] the communication of the contribution for the saints. And not [merely] as we hoped, but gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us according to the will of God.

So as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and elocution, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love.

For I know your readiness of mind, for which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia had made preparation a year ago; and your zeal hath stirred up very many. But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying in you might not be vain in this matter; that as I have said, ye may be prepared. read more.
Lest haply if the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say, you) may be confounded in this confidence of boasting.

that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ; filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God. Now I wish you, brethren, to know, that the things which have befallen me have rather conduced to the progress of the gospel; read more.
so that my bonds are manifest in Christ through the whole palace, and all other places; and very many of our brethren in the Lord, assuming confidence from my chains, are more abundantly bold, fearlessly to preach the word. Some indeed do it in a spirit of envy and strife; but some also preach Christ with cordial good-will: the one indeed preach Christ out of contention, not with purity of intention, thinking to add affliction to my bonds: but the others of love, knowing that I am exposed for the defence of the gospel. What then? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. For I know that this shall issue in my salvation through your prayers, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse I know not.
