2 Corinthians 8:16-22
16But 1thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 who 2putsG1325 the sameG846 earnestnessG4710 inG5228 your behalfG5228 in the heartG2588 of 3TitusG5103.
17For he not onlyG3303 acceptedG1209 our 4appealG3874, but beingG5225 himselfG830 very earnestG4705, he has goneG1831 to you of his ownG830 accordG830.
18We have sentG4842 alongG4842 with him 5the brotherG80 whoseG3739 fameG1868 in the things of the 6gospelG2098 has spread throughG1223 7allG3956 the churchesG1577;
198and not onlyG3440 that, but he has alsoG2532 been 9appointedG5500 by the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 withG4898 us in 10thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485, which is being administeredG1247 by us for the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 HimselfG846, and to show our 11readinessG4288,
2012takingG4724 precautionG4724 soG3361 thatG3361 noG3361 oneG5100 will discreditG3469 us in our administrationG1247 of thisG3778 generousG100 giftG100;
21for we 13haveG4306 regardG4306 for what is honorableG2570, not onlyG3440 inG1799 14theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 the LordG2962, but alsoG2532 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 other peopleG444.
22We have sentG4842 with them our brotherG80, whomG3739 we have oftenG4178 testedG1381 and foundG1510 diligentG4705 in manyG4183 thingsG4183, but nowG3570 evenG4183 moreG4183 diligentG4705 because of his greatG4183 confidenceG4006 in you.
