2 Corinthians 8:16-22

16But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion for you.

17For indeed he not only accepted our appeal, but went to you with eagerness and on his own initiative.

18We are sending along with him the brother whose fame in connection with the Good News has spread throughout all of Messiah’s communities.

19Not only that, but he has also been appointed by the communities as our travel companion with this gracious gift, which is administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.

20We are taking this precaution, so that no one will blame us in regard to the way we administer this generous gift.

21We have regard for what is honorable—not only before the Lord, but also before people.

22Also with them we are sending our brother whom we have tested many times and found to be diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.
