2 Corinthians 8:20-24

20 1taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift;

21for we 2have regard for what is honorable, not only in 3the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of other people.

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 4Titus, he is my 5partner and fellow worker 6among you; as for our 7brothers, they are 8 9messengers of the churches, 10a glory to Christ.

24Therefore, 11openly before the churches, 12show them the proof of your love and of our 13reason for boasting about you.
