16 But thanks be unto God, who gives this same enthusiasm in your behalf in the heart of Titus;
17 because he indeed accepted our exhortation; and being the more enthusiastic, came unto you of his own accord.
18 But we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is through all the churches;
19 not only so, but having been elected by the churches our traveling companion with this philanthropy, administered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and your promptitude:
20 and avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this benefaction administered by us:
21 for we provide things honest, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also before the people.
22 And we sent our brother along with him to them, whom we have tried, being frequently zealous in many things, but now much more zealous, with great confidence towards you.
23 Whether in behalf of Titus, my companion and fellow-laborer towards you; or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
