2 Corinthians 8:16-24 - Arrangements For Administering The Corinthians' Gift
16 Thanks be to God who has inspired Titus with an interest in you equal to my own; 17 he has indeed responded to my request, but he is off to you by his own choice, so keen is his interest in you. 18 Along with him I am sending that brother whose services to the gospel are praised by all the churches; 19 besides, he has been appointed by the churches to travel with me on the business of administering this fund to the glory of the Lord. His appointment has my full consent, 20 for I want to take precautions against any risk of suspicion in connection with the administration of this charity; 21 I aim at being above reproach not only from God but also from men. 22 Along with them I am also sending our brother: I have had ample proof of his keen interest on many occasions, and it is specially keen on this occasion, as he has absolute confidence in you. 23 Titus is my colleague, he shares my work for you, and these brothers of mine are apostles of the church, a credit to Christ. 24 So let them have proof of how you can love, and of my reasons for being proud of you; it will be a proof read by the churches.
