* Moreover , brethren , we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia ; * How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality . * For to their power , I bear record , yea , and beyond their power they were willing of themselves ; * Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift , and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints . * And this they did , not as we hoped , but first gave their own selves to the Lord , and unto us by the will of God .
