Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

For our reason for confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity which are from God -- not by human wisdom but by the grace of God -- we conducted ourselves in the world, and all the more toward you.

For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God.

Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters, the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.

And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.

And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you.

But he said to me, "My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
