2 Corinthians 8:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.

19 More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the offering —the gracious gift we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.

20 We hope to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.

21 For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.

22 And we are sending along with them our brother whose earnestness has been proven many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you.
