emtv - 2Corinthians:8:16-9:5

emtv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you in the heart of Titus.

emtv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ Because he accepted my appeal, but being more diligent, he came to you of his own accord.

emtv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we sent together with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,

emtv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion with this gift, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and [to show] our readiness-

emtv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ avoiding this, lest anyone should blame us in this abundance which is ministered by us;

emtv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ having regard for honorable things, not only before the Lord, but also before men.

emtv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we sent together with them our brother whom we often approved in many things, being diligent, but now [being ]much more diligent, by [his] great confidence in you.

emtv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If [anyone inquires ]about Titus, [he is] my partner and fellow worker concerning you; or if our brothers [are inquired about], [they are] messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

emtv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show to them the proof of your love, and of our boasting concerning you, before the churches.

emtv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you;

emtv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, about which I boast concerning you to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has provoked the majority.

emtv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ And I have sent the brothers, lest our boasting about you lose its justification in this matter, that just as I said, you may be prepared,

emtv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest perhaps if [some] Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

emtv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to urge the brothers, that they should go before [me] to you, and should arrange in advance your generous gift, which you had previously promised, [that] this would be ready, thus as a blessing and not as grudgingly given.
