19 And not only this, but he was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion together with this gift that is being administered by us to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.
20 We are trying to avoid this, lest anyone should find fault with us in this abundant gift that is being administered by us.
21 For we are taking into consideration what is honorable not only before the Lord, but also before people.
22 And we are sending with them our brother whom we have tested many times in many things that he is diligent, but now much more diligent because of his great confidence in you.
23 If there is a question concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. If there is a question concerning our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
24 Therefore show to them the proof of your love and our boasting about you openly before the churches.
