2Corinthians:8:16-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But thanks be to God ,
which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you .
*
For indeed he accepted the exhortation ;
but being more forward ,
of his own accord he went unto you .
*
And we have sent with him the brother ,
whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches ;
*
And not that only ,
but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace ,
which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord ,
and declaration of your ready mind :
*
Avoiding this ,
that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us :
*
Providing for honest things ,
not only in the sight of the Lord ,
but also in the sight of men .
*
And we have sent with them our brother ,
whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things ,
but now much more diligent ,
upon the great confidence which I have in you .
*
Whether any do enquire of Titus ,
he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you :
or our brethren be enquired of ,
they are the messengers of the churches ,
and the glory of Christ .
*
Wherefore shew ye to them ,
and before the churches ,
the proof of your love ,
and of our boasting on your behalf .
