And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.

Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given to the churches in Macedonia.

We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,

Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia.

We want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that was given to the churches of Macedonia:

Now, brothers and sisters, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:

Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;

We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God granted to the churches of Macedonia:

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,

Toward this goal I also labor, struggling according to his power that powerfully works in me.

And indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers and sisters in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,

A vision appeared to Paul during the night: A Macedonian man was standing there urging him,“ Come over to Macedonia and help us!”

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them– yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,

To me– less than the least of all the saints– this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ

because 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.

because the service of this ministry is not only providing for the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God.

For Macedonia and Achaia are pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their generosity.For I testify, they gave according to their means and beyond their means. They did so voluntarily,begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping the saints.And 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.Thus we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work, so also he should complete this act of kindness for you.But 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.

When I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

For 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.

As a result you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, so that we do not need to say anything.
