Titus » Sent to corinth
So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.
But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus. For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart. And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches; read more.
And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready: And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands: For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men. And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you? I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?
