2 Corinthians 8:17-21 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord. ¹⁸ We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the churches. ¹⁹ Not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness. ²⁰ We are avoiding this, that no one should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us. ²¹ For we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others.
