    16Thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for you.

    17For Titus not only accepted our appeal, but he is coming to you with great eagerness and on his own initiative.

    18And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel.

    19Not only that, but he was also chosen by the churches to accompany us as we carry out this act of grace, which is being administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.

    20We are taking this precaution so that no one will criticize us regarding this generous gift we are administering.

    21For we are taking every precaution to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of people.

    22We are also sending with them our brother, who has often proved diligent in many matters and is now even more so because of his great confidence in you.

    23As for Titus, he is my partner and co-worker among you; as for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

    1Now we want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia.

    2In the midst of a severe trial brought by affliction, their overflowing joy and their deep poverty overflowed into abundant generosity.

    3For I testify that they gave according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, entirely on their own.

    4They urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.

    5And they exceeded our expectations: they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will.

    6So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier begun, to complete this act of grace among you as well.

    7But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in the love we inspired in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

    8I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

    14For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has been found to be true as well.
