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

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put this care for you into the heart of Titus, ¹⁷ for he received the exhortation, and being extremely diligent went to you of his own accord. ¹⁸ And we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is in all the churches, ¹⁹ and not only so, but he has also been chosen by the churches as our travelling companion in this charity ministered by us for the glory of the same Lord and our promptitude, ²⁰ guarding against this, that no one may blame us in this abundance administered by us; ²¹ for we provide things honorable not only before the Lord, but also before men. ²² And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved in many services to be diligent, and who is now much more diligent from the great confidence in you. ²³ If [any one inquires] respecting Titus, he is my companion and co-laborer for you; if our brothers, they are apostles of churches and the glory of Christ. ²⁴ Show them therefore the proof of your love, and of our boasting of you before the churches.
