13 And it is not that others should be relieved, while you are troubled, but that there should be an equality.
14 In this present time, let your abundance supply their need, so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be an equality, just as it was written:
15 "He with more did not have too much; and he with less did not have too little."
16 But thanks be to God, who has granted to the heart of Titus, this same solicitude for you.
17 For certainly, he accepted the exhortation. But since he was more solicitous, he went to you of his own free will.
18 And we have even sent with him a brother whose praise accompanies the Gospel throughout all the churches.
19 And not only that, but he was also chosen by the churches to be a companion for our sojourn in this grace, which is ministered by us with our determined will, to the glory of the Lord.
