{Beseeching us with much intreaty in regard of this grace}
(meta poll(8873) parakl(8873)e(9373) deomenoi h(886d)(936e) t(886e) charin). Literally,
"with much intreaty begging of us the favour and the partnership
in the ministry to the saints." The accusative (charin) after
deomai is unusual. By charis Paul means the privilege of
giving (cf.  Ac 24:27 ). Apparently Paul had been reluctant to
press the Macedonians because of their manifest poverty. They
demanded the right to have a share in it.
