194and not onlyG3440 this, but he has alsoG2532 been 5appointedG5500 by the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 with us in 6thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485, which is being administeredG1247 by us for the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 HimselfG846, and to show our 7readinessG4288,
208takingG4724 precautionG4724 so that noG3361 oneG5100 will discreditG3469 us in our administrationG1247 of thisG3778 generousG100 giftG100;
21for we 9haveG4306 regardG4306 for what is honorableG2570, not onlyG3440 in 10the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, but alsoG2532 in the sightG1799 of menG444.

23As for 11TitusG5103, he is my 12partnerG2844 and fellowG4904 workerG4904 13amongG1519 you; as for our 14brethrenG80, they are 1516messengersG652 of the churchesG1577, 17a gloryG1391 to ChristG5547.
