Tact » Paul » In stimulating benevolent giving
Now, brothers, I wish to tell you about the grace of God which has been manifest in the churches of Macedonia. For although in heavy trial of affliction, their overbrimming happiness, even in spite of their deep poverty, abounded to the opulence of their unselfishness. For I can testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, of their own free will, too, they have given help. read more.
With earnest entreaty they craved of me the privilege of a share in ministering to the saints in Jerusalem. And this not as I had expected, but in accordance with the will of God, they first gave themselves to God and to me. With the result that I have been begging Titus that, as he had been the one to begin the work with you, so he should complete among you this grace also. Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also. I do not say this by way of command, but by the zeal of others I am trying to prove the reality of your love.
It is indeed unnecessary for me to write you in regard to the ministration to the saints at Jerusalem, for I know how ready you are, and am always boasting about you to the Macedonians, telling them that Greece has been ready for a year past; and your zeal has been a spur to the majority of them. Nevertheless I am sending the brothers in order that my boast about you may not prove vain in this instance; so that, as I kept saying, you may be prepared. read more.
For if any Macedonians come with me and find you not ready, shame would come upon me (not to speak of you) in respect to this confidence.

I want it to be given of your bounty, not extorted from your covetousness.

for testing things that differ, so that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruit of righteousness through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

Throughout the whole Praetorian guard and among all the others it has become plain that these chains of mine are for the sake of Christ; and most of the brothers in the Lord, made confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, are much emboldened to speak God's message with free and fearless confidence. Some indeed are preaching Christ out of envy and contentiousness, but others from good-will. but the former preach Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, because they think they are adding bitterness to my bonds. These latter out of their love, because they know that I am set here for the defense of the gospel; What of it? In any case, whether in pretence or in honest truth, Christ is still preached, and in that I am rejoicing, yes, and will rejoice. For I know that these things will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. So it is my keen expectation and hope that I shall never feel ashamed, but that with fearless courage, now as hither to, Christ may be magnified in my body, whether by my life or by my death. For, with me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. But now, if life in the flesh, if this be the fruit of my toil??hat to choose I do not know,
