Our brothers, even those who are in poor economic situations, are like the Macedonians who were in “deep poverty ” and yet begged for the privilege to give and did so generously. ​ — 2 Cor. 8: 1 - 4.
فَمَعَ أَنَّ ٱلْمَقْدُونِيِّينَ عَاشُوا فِي ‹ فَقْرٍ شَدِيدٍ › ،‏ تَوَسَّلُوا أَنْ يُسْمَحَ لَهُمْ بِٱلتَّبَرُّعِ وَأَعْطَوْا بِكَرَمٍ .‏ —‏ ٢ كو ٨ :‏ ١ -‏ ٤‏ .‏
