2 Corinthians 8:17-21 because he has acceded to my request, or rather, because he is so enthusiastic for you, of his own accord he is off to visit you.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ because he has acceded to my request, or rather, because he is so enthusiastic for you, of his own accord he is off to visit you. ¹⁸ I am sending with him the well-known brother whose praise for spreading the good news is ringing through all the churches. ¹⁹ Not only that, but he has been selected by the churches to travel with me for this gracious contribution which is being raised by me, so that it may turn out for the glory of the Lord and a proof of my readiness to serve. ²⁰ I am arranging it so that no one can blame me in the matter of this munificent fund that is being handled by me. ²¹ For I am taking the precaution to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the eyes of men.
