2 Corinthians 8:16-24

Commendation of Titus

16But athanks be to God, bwho put into the heart of Titus the same earnest care I have for you. 17For che not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going
Or  he went
to you of his own accord.
18With him we are sending
Or  we sent; also verse 22
fthe brother who is famous among gall the churches for his preaching of the gospel.
19And not only that, but he has been happointed by the churches to travel with us as we carry out this act of igrace that is being ministered by us, jfor the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will. 20We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us, 21for kwe aim at what is honorable lnot only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man. 22And 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. 23As for Titus, he is mmy partner and fellow worker for your benefit. And as for our brothers, they are messengers
Greek apostles
of the churches, the glory of Christ.
24So give proof before the churches of your love and of oour boasting about you to these men.
