2 Corinthians 8:17-21 For he not only accepted our urging, but being very diligent himself, he went to you of his own accord i.e. Titus had wanted to go to Corinth even before being urged to.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ For he not only accepted our urging, but being very diligent himself, he went to you of his own accord [i.e. Titus had wanted to go to Corinth even before being urged to]. ¹⁸ And we have sent [i.e., are sending] with him the brother who is praised throughout all the churches for [his work in] preaching the Gospel [Note: This “brother” cannot be identified with any certainty]. ¹⁹ And not only this, but he was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [taking] this gift [to Jerusalem] as we minister in order to honor the Lord Himself, and to demonstrate our eagerness [to help poor people]. ²⁰ [We made this arrangement] to avoid anyone blaming us for the way we handled this generous gift. ²¹ For we take measures to do what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of people.
