2 Corinthians 8:19-23

19 1and not only this, but he has also been 2appointed by the churches to travel with us in 3this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our 4readiness,

20 5taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift;

21for we 6have regard for what is honorable, not only in 7the 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 8Titus, he is my 9partner and fellow worker 10among you; as for our 11brethren, they are 12 13messengers of the churches, 14a glory to Christ.
