2 Corinthians 8:16-24 - Arrangements For Administering The Corinthians' Gift
16 But thanks be to God that He inspires the heart of Titus with the same deep interest in you; 17 for Titus welcomed our request, and, being thoroughly in earnest, comes to you of his own free will. 18 And we send with him the brother whose praises for his earnestness in proclaiming the Good News are heard throughout all the Churches. 19 And more than that, he is the one who was chosen by the vote of the Churches to travel with us, sharing our commission in the administration of this generous gift to promote the Lord's glory and gratify our own strong desire. 20 For against one thing we are on our guard--I mean against blame being thrown upon us in respect to these large and liberal contributions which are under our charge. 21 For we seek not only God's approval of our integrity, but man's also. 22 And we send with them our brother, of whose zeal we have had frequent proof in many matters, and who is now more zealous than ever through the strong confidence which he has in you. 23 As for Titus, remember that he is a partner with me, and is my comrade in my labours for you. And as for our brethren, remember that they are delegates from the Churches, and are men in whom Christ is glorified. 24 Exhibit therefore to the Churches a proof of your love, and a justification of our boasting to these brethren about you.
