16 Now thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnestness for you in the heart of Titus.
17 For he indeed received an exhortation, but from an extraordinary earnestness he was going to you of his own accord.
18 Now with him we have sent the brother whose praise is by the gospel throughout all the congregations.
19 And not only so, but he hath been chosen by the congregations to accompany us with this bounty; the distribution of which we have undertaken for the glory of the Lord and your readiness,
20 using this precaution that none may blame us in the distribution of this large sum;
21 being careful to conduct ourselves well, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 And with them we have sent that brother of ours whose diligence in many affairs we have many a time experienced, and who is now more than ordinarily intent on this from the great confidence which he hath in you.
23 Now with regard to Titus, he is my partner and fellow labourer for you; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of congregations, a glory of Christ.
