    2For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

    3But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:
