2Cor 7:14, 8:6, 17-24, 9:4 | ESV | STEP | For whatever boasts I made to him about you , I was not put to shame . But just as everything we said to you was true , so also our boasting before Titus has proved true .

2 Corinthians 7:14

14 For ^awhatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you ^bwas true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true.

2 Corinthians 8:6

6 Accordingly, ^cwe urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you ^dthis act of grace.

2 Corinthians 8:17-24

17 For ^ehe not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going ^{▼▼Or he went} to you of his own accord. 18 With him we are sending ^{▼▼Or we sent; also verse 22} ^hthe brother who is famous among ⁱall the churches for his preaching of the gospel. 19 And not only that, but he has been ^jappointed by the churches to travel with us as we carry out this act of ^kgrace that is being ministered by us, ^lfor the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will. 20 We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us, 21 for ^mwe aim at what is honorable ⁿnot only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man. 22 And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for Titus, he is ^omy partner and fellow worker for your benefit. And as for our brothers, they are messengers ^{▼▼Greek apostles} of the churches, the glory of Christ. 24 So give proof before the churches of your love and of ^qour boasting about you to these men.

2 Corinthians 9:4

4 Otherwise, if some Macedonians ^rcome with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—for being so confident.
