Chapter 8 1-8. Example of Others an Inducement to Giving—When a people have an earnest longing to help where help is needed in advancing the cause of God in any line, the Lord will impart to these consecrated, unselfish ones a heart to give gladly, as if it was a privilege. God moved on these Macedonians in their deep poverty to bestow liberally that their example might be recorded, thus leading others to exercise the same beneficence. {6BC 1102.9}

Kapitel 8

1-8. Andres eksempel giver andre anledning til at give. - Når et folk har en alvorlig længsel efter at hjælpe hvor der er brug for det, til at fremme Guds sag i en retning, vil Herren bibringe disse helligede, uselviske mennesker et hjerte til at give gladelig, som om det var et privilegium. Gud har bevæget disse makedonere i deres dybe armod til at give (1103) gavmildt, at deres eksempel bliver skrevet ned, og derved lede andre til at udøve den samme gavmildhed.
