2 Corinthians 8:14-23
14AtG1722 theG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540, yourG4771 surplusG4051 will meetG1519 theirG1565 needG5303, so thatG2443 in turnG2532 theirG1565 surplusG4051 willG1096 meetG1519 yourG4771 needG5303. This wayG3704 there will beG1096 equalityG2471. 15AsG2531 it is writtenG1125:
16ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whoG3588 putG1325 intoG1722 theG3588 heartG2588 of TitusG5103 theG3588 sameG846 devotionG4710 I have forG5228 youG4771. 17ForG3754 not onlyG3303 did he welcomeG1209 our appealG3874, butG1161 heG5225 is eagerlyG4705 comingG1831 toG4314 youG4771 of his own volitionG830.
18Along withG3326 Titus we are sendingG4842 theG3588 brotherG80 whoG3739 is praisedG1868 byG1223 allG3956 theG3588 churchesG1577 for his work inG1722 theG3588 gospelG2098. 19More than thatG2532G1161G3756G3440G235, this brother was chosenG5500 byG5259 theG3588 churchesG1577 to accompanyG4898 usG1473 withG4862 theG3588 gracious offeringG54852 weG1473 administerG1247 toG4314 honorG1391 theG3588 LordG2962 HimselfG846 andG2532 to show ourG1473 eagernessG4288 to help.
20We want to avoidG4724 anyG5100 criticismG3469 ofG1722 the way weG1473 administerG1247 thisG3778 generousG100 gift. 21ForG1063 we are taking great care to doG4306 what is rightG2570, notG3756 onlyG3440 in the eyesG1799 of the LordG2962, butG235 alsoG2532 in the eyesG1799 of menG444.
22AndG1161 we are sending along withG4842 themG846 ourG1473 brotherG80 whoG3739 has provenG1381 his earnestnessG4705 to us many timesG4178 and inG1722 many waysG4183, andG1161 nowG3570 evenG4183 moreG4183 so by his great confidenceG4006 inG1519 youG4771. 23As forG1535G5228 TitusG5103, he is myG1699 partnerG2844 andG2532 fellow workerG4904 amongG1519 youG4771. As for ourG1473 brothersG80, they are messengersG6523 of the churchesG1577, the gloryG1391 of ChristG5547.
