The letter on the grace given in the assemblies of Macedonia
마게도냐 교회들에게 주신 은혜에 대한 편지의 말
2 Corinthians 8:1–7: The writer (“I”) says, “Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia, how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity. For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord, begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints. This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace. But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.” At 8:6 the Korean Revised Version does not say who made the beginning (너희 가운데서 시작하였은즉), and gives what Titus was urged as words to him (이 은혜를 그대로 성취케 하라 하였노라), where WEB reads “that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace”.

1Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
2how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
3For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
5This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
