    16The Mission of Titus But thanks be to God who put in the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you,

    17because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.

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

    19In addition, this brother has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.

    20We did this as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering.

    21For we are concerned about what is right not only before the Lord but also before men.

    22And we are sending with them our brother whom we have tested many times and found eager in many matters, but who now is much more eager than ever because of the great confidence he has in you.

    23If there is any question about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; if there is any question about our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

    1Completing the Collection for the Saints Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters, the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,

    2that during a severe ordeal of suffering, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their generosity.

    3For I testify, they gave according to their means and beyond their means. They did so voluntarily,

    4begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping the saints.

    5And they did this not just as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

    6Thus we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work, so also he should complete this act of kindness for you.

    7But as you excel in everything– in faith, in speech, in knowledge, and in all eagerness and in the love from us that is in you– make sure that you excel in this act of kindness too.

    8I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.

    12So then, even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong, or on account of the one who was wronged, but to reveal to you your eagerness on our behalf before God.

    13Therefore we have been encouraged. And in addition to our own encouragement, we rejoiced even more at the joy of Titus, because all of you have refreshed his spirit.

    14For if I have boasted to him about anything concerning you, I have not been embarrassed by you, but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has proved true as well.

    15And his affection for you is much greater when he remembers the obedience of you all, how you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
