Paul in Corinthians praised the churches of Macedonia because, despite their extreme poverty, they gave generously to those in need, which he referred to as a wealth of liberality. According to the Bible, Paul wrote to the Corinthians to encourage them to also give generously, as he had heard of the Macedonians' selfless and sacrificial giving. Despite their poverty, the Macedonian churches did not let their financial limitations prevent them from being generous with what they had.
