    2In the midst of a severe trial brought by affliction, their overflowing joy and their deep poverty overflowed into abundant generosity.

    2For I know your eagerness, which I boast about on your behalf to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been prepared since last year. And your zeal has stirred up many others.

    3But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting about you in this matter might not be empty, so that you may be ready, just as I said.
