    1Completing the Collection for the Saints Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters, the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,

    2that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their generosity.

    3For I testify, they gave according to their means and beyond their means. They did so voluntarily,

    4begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping the saints.

    5And they did this not just as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

    6Thus we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work, so also he should complete this act of kindness for you.

    7But as you excel in everything– in faith, in speech, in knowledge, and in all eagerness and in the love from us that is in you– make sure that you excel in this act of kindness too.

    8I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.

    1Preparing the Gift For it is not necessary for me to write you about this service to the saints,

    2because I know your eagerness to help. I keep boasting to the Macedonians about this eagerness of yours, that Achaia has been ready to give since last year, and your zeal to participate has stirred up most of them.

    3But I am sending these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready just as I kept telling them.

    4For if any of the Macedonians should come with me and find that you are not ready to give, we would be humiliated(not to mention you) by this confidence we had in you.

    5Therefore I thought it necessary to urge these brothers to go to you in advance and to arrange ahead of time the generous contribution you had promised, so this may be ready as a generous gift and not as something you feel forced to do.
