16 I am grateful that God made Titus care as much about you as we do.
17 When we begged Titus to visit you, he said he would. He wanted to because he cared so much for you.
18 With Titus we are also sending one of the Lord's followers who is well known in every church for spreading the good news.
19 The churches chose this follower to travel with us while we carry this gift that will bring praise to the Lord and show how much we hope to help.
20 We don't want anyone to find fault with the way we handle your generous gift.
21 But we want to do what pleases the Lord and what people think is right.
22 We are also sending someone else with Titus and the other follower. We approve of this man. In fact, he has already shown us many times that he wants to help. And now he wants to help even more than ever, because he trusts you so much.
