For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.

The believers in Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to take an offering. It was for those who were poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.

For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.

because Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

for Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

At that time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.One of them, named Agabus, got up and predicted by the Spirit that a severe famine was about to come over the whole inhabited world.( This took place during the reign of Claudius.)So the disciples, each in accordance with his financial ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.They did so, sending their financial aid to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters, the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,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.I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.

Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.

The one who mocks the poor insults his Creator; whoever rejoices over disaster will not go unpunished.

And the king will answer them,‘ I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.’

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

The one who despises his neighbor sins, but whoever is kind to the needy is blessed.

Now, brothers and sisters, you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you

The one who oppresses the poor insults his Creator, but whoever shows favor to the needy honors him.

But when you host an elaborate meal, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.

Then he looked up at his disciples and said:“ Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God belongs to you.

Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews attacked Paul together and brought him before the judgment seat,

For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me!

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.

So it was annulled that very day, and then the most afflicted of the flock who kept faith with me knew that that was the word of the LORD.

So I began to shepherd the flock destined for slaughter, the most afflicted of all the flock. Then I took two staffs, calling one“ Pleasantness” and the other“ Binders,” and I tended the flock.

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.

because I hear of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich oppressing you and dragging you into the courts?
