1 Paul said, I want you to know how God helped the churches in Macedonia. 2 Those people had big pain and were very poor, but they had big joy and gave a lot. ➡️ 3 They gave as much as they could, and more, by their own choice. 4 They begged us to let them help God’s people who need help. 5 They gave themselves to the Lord first, and then to us, just like God wanted. ❤️♂️ 6 So we asked Titus to finish this gift with you, like he started. 7 You do well in faith, words, knowing, care, and love. Do well in giving too. ⭐️❤️ 8 I am not making a rule. I want to see if your love is real, like their love. 9 You know about our Lord Jesus Christ. He was rich, but He became poor for you, so you can have what you need. ✝️➡️ 10 Here is my kind think. This helps you. Last year you started to want to give and to do it. 11 Now finish it. Do it with what you have. ✅ 12 If you want to give, God sees your heart. Give from what you have, not what you do not have. 13 We do not want others to rest while you hurt. We want fair. ⚖️ 14 Now you have more. Help them. Later they may help you. Then it is fair. 15 It says, the one who got much had no extra, and the one who got little had enough. 16 Thank God. He put the same care for you in Titus. 17 Titus said yes. He cares a lot. He is coming to you by his own choice. ♂️➡️️ 18 A brother will go with him. Many churches know him for the good news of Jesus. ✝️ 19 The churches picked him to travel with us to carry the gift, to make the Lord glad and show our good heart. 20 We do this so no one can say we did wrong with the big gift. ️ 21 We try to do what is good and right to the Lord and to people. ✅ 22 We send another brother too. We tried him many times. He cares a lot. He feels sure about you. 23 Titus is my helper and friend in work for you. The other men are church helpers. They make Jesus look good. ⛪✝️ 24 So show your love to them. Show all the churches that what I said about you is true. ✅
