16 But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 For he accepted indeed the exhortation; but being very zealous, he went to you of his own accord.
18 And together with him we sent the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the churches;
19 and not that only, but who was also appointed by the churches, as our fellow-traveler with this gift which is administered by us, to further the glory of the Lord, and our zeal;
20 being careful of this, that no one should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us;
21 for we provide for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 And we sent with them our brother, whom we have often in many things proved to be diligent, but now much more diligent, through the great confidence which he has toward you.
23 As to Titus, he is my partner, and in regard to you a fellow-laborer; as to our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
