2 Corinthians 8:16-24 - Arrangements For Administering The Corinthians' Gift
16 But thanks be to God, who kindles in the heart of Titus the same enthusiasm for you that I have; 17 because he has acceded to my request, or rather, because he is so enthusiastic for you, of his own accord he is off to visit you. 18 I am sending with him the well-known brother whose praise for spreading the good news is ringing through all the churches. 19 Not only that, but he has been selected by the churches to travel with me for this gracious contribution which is being raised by me, so that it may turn out for the glory of the Lord and a proof of my readiness to serve. 20 I am arranging it so that no one can blame me in the matter of this munificent fund that is being handled by me. 21 For I am taking the precaution to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the eyes of men. 22 I send with them another brother of ours, whom I have often in many ways tested and found to be enthusiastic, but now he is more enthusiastic than ever, because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for Titus, he is my partner and comrade in the work for you, while these brothers of ours, the representatives of the churches, will bring glory to Christ. 24 So you must furnish them, before all the churches, proof of your love and ground for my praising you so highly.
