2 Corinthians 8:17-21 Because he accepted my appeal, but being more diligent, he came to you of his own accord.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Because he accepted my appeal, but being more diligent, he came to you of his own accord. ¹⁸ And we sent together with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches, ¹⁹ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion with this gift, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show our readiness-- ²⁰ avoiding this, lest anyone should blame us in this abundance which is ministered by us; ²¹ having regard for honorable things, not only before the Lord, but also before men.
