mkjv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks [be] to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For indeed he accepted the entreaty. But being more earnest, of his own accord he went to you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we have sent with him the brothers whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only [so], but also he having been chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself, and [as a witness of] your eager mind;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ providing for honest things, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest by the great confidence which [I have] in you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If anyone inquires of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellow-worker for you, or [of] our brothers, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [the] glory of Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show them a proof of your love and of our boasting toward you in the presence of the churches.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ For indeed regarding the ministry to the saints, it is not necessary for me to write to you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your eagerness, of which I boast to Macedonia on your behalf, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has aroused the greater number.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I sent the brothers, lest our boasting (which [is] on your behalf) should not be in vain, that, as I said, you may be ready.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ [I say this] lest perhaps Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared. We (not to say you) would then be put to shame in this confident boasting.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought [it] necessary to exhort the brothers that they would go forward to you, and make up beforehand your blessing, it having been promised that this would be ready, thus as a matter of] blessing, and not as of covetousness.
