2 Corinthians 8:14-23
14at this present time your abundance being a supply for 1their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for 2your need, that there may be equality; 15as it is written, “3He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
16But 4thanks be to God who 5puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of 6Titus. 17For he not only accepted our 7appeal, but being himself very earnest, he has gone to you of his own accord. 18We have sent along with him 8the brother whose fame in the things of the 9gospel has spread through 10all the churches; 1911and not only this, but he has also been 12appointed by the churches to travel with us in 13this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our 14readiness, 2015taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; 21for we 16have regard for what is honorable, not only in 17the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 22We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you. 23As for 18Titus, he is my 19partner and fellow worker 20among you; as for our 21brethren, they are 2223messengers of the churches, 24a glory to Christ.
