Today is Saturday
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God
bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:
that in a great trial of affliction
the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty
abounded in the riches of their liberality.
For I bear witness that according to their ability,
yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,
imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift
and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
And not only as we had hoped,
but they first gave themselves to the Lord,
and then to us by the will of God…
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor,
that you through His poverty might become rich…
For if there is first a willing mind,
it is accepted according to what one has,
and not according to what he does not have.
