2 Corinthians 8:1-2

Encouragement to Give Generously

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

Philippians 4:10

God’s Provision

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length ^dyou have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.

Philippians 4:15-16

15 And you Philippians yourselves know that ^ein the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, ^fno church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again.
