    16 But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

    17 For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.

    18 And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;

    19 And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

    20 And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

    21 For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

    22 And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

    23 If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

    1 And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;

    2 How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.

    3 For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,

    4 Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:

    5 And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

    6 So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.

    7 And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

    8 I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.

    13 So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.

    14 For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

    15 And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.
