Moreover, (1) brethren, we do you to wit of the (a) grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
(1) The sixth part of this epistle containing different exhortations to stir up the Corinthians to liberality, with which the poverty of the church of Jerusalem might be helped at an appropriate time. And first of all he sets before them the example of the churches of Macedonia, which otherwise were brought by great misery to extreme poverty, so that the Corinthians should follow them.
(a) The benefit that God bestowed upon the Corinthians.
