2 Corinthians 8:17-24 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. ²² And we sent together with them our brother whom we often approved in many things, being diligent, but now being much more diligent, by his great confidence in you. ²³ If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you; or if our brothers are inquired about, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ. ²⁴ Therefore show to them the proof of your love, and of our boasting concerning you, before the churches.
