16But 1,athanks be to God who bputs the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of cTitus. 17For he not only accepted our aplea, but being himself very earnest, he has gone out to you of his own accord. 18And we have sent along with him athe brother whose praise in the things of the bgospel is throughout call the churches. 19aAnd not only this, but he has also been bappointed by the churches to travel with us in cthis gracious work that is being ministered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our dreadiness, 201taking precaution lest anyone discredits us in our ministering of this generous gift, 21for we arespect what is good, not only in bthe sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 22And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found earnest in many things, but now even more earnest because of his great confidence in you. 23As for aTitus, he is my bpartner and fellow worker 1among you; as for our cbrothers, they are 2,dmessengers of the churches, ea glory to Christ. 24Therefore 1openly before the churches, 2show them the proof of your love and of our areason for boasting about you.
