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

lont@2Corinthians:8:16 @ Now thanks be to God, who has put the same earnest care concerning you, into the heart of Titus.

lont@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he, indeed, received an exhortation; but from his great earnestness, was going to you of his own accord.

lont@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And with him we have sent the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the congregations.

lont@2Corinthians:8:19 @ And not only so, but who was also chosen by the congregations our fellow-traveler, with this charity, which is ministered by us, to the glory of the Lord himself, and of your readiness:

lont@2Corinthians:8:20 @ using this precaution, that none may blame us in the distribution of this abundance;

lont@2Corinthians:8:21 @ premeditating things comely, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in sight of men.

lont@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes found diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, from the great confidence which he has in you.

lont@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If any inquire concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellow-laborer for you; or if our brethren be inquired of, they are Apostles of congregations, and a glory of Christ.

lont@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Wherefore, the proof of your love, and of our boasting concerning you, display before them, and before the face of the congregations.

lont@2Corinthians:9:1 @ But, indeed, concerning the ministry which is for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

lont@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your willingness: of which I boasted on your behalf, to the Macedonians, that Achaia was prepared since the last year; and your zeal has stirred up the multitude.

lont@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I have sent the brethren, that our boasting concerning you, may not be rendered false in this particular; but that as I said you may be prepared.

lont@2Corinthians:9:4 @ Lest, perhaps, if the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not you) should be put to shame by this confidence.

lont@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore, I thought it necessary to entreat the brethren, that they would go before you, and complete beforehand your formerly announced bounty; that the same might be thus ready as a gift, and not as a thing extorted.
