47:007:012 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
47:007:013 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and
exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because
his spirit was refreshed by you all.
47:007:014 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not
ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so
our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
47:007:015 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst
he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and
trembling ye received him.
47:007:016 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all
things.
47:008:001 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God
bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
47:008:002 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
47:008:003 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
47:008:004 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
47:008:005 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.
