2 Corinthians 8:16-24 - Arrangements For Administering The Corinthians' Gift

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put the same concern for you into the heart of Titus: ¹⁷ for he not only complied with the exhortation, but being more forward he went to you of his own accord. ¹⁸ And we have sent along with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is spread through all the churches: ¹⁹ (and not only so, but he was also chosen by the churches to accompany us with this grace, which is administered by us for the glory of the same Lord, and to shew your readiness of mind:) ²⁰ hereby taking care that no one might blame us in the disposal of this large sum which is administered by us: ²¹ looking to things that are right not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. ²² And we have sent with them another brother of ours, whom we have often proved diligent in many things, and now I doubt not much more on account of his great confidence in you. ²³ If then there be any inquiry about Titus, he is my collegue and fellow-laborer among you: and if our brethren be inquired after, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ. ²⁴ Therefore shew to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and the justness of our boasting concerning you.
