2 Corinthians 8:1-2

Encouragement to Give Generously

1We want you to know, brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters
about the grace of God that has been bgiven among the churches of Macedonia,
2for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and ctheir extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

Revelation of John 3:17

17 dFor you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, eblind, and naked.
