16. But thanks be to Elohim who puts the same eagerness for you into the heart of Titus.
17. Because he received the appeal, indeed, but being more eager, he went to you of his own accord.
18. And we sent with him the brother whose praise is in the Good News through all the assemblies,
19. and not only so, but who was also chosen by the assemblies to travel with us with this gift that is administered by us to the esteem of the Master Himself, and your ready mind,
20. avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this generous gift which is administered by us.
21. For we provide what is right, not only in the sight of יהוה, but also in the sight of men.
22. And we sent with them our brother whom we have often proved eager in many ways, but now much more eager, because of the great reliance which we have in you.
23. As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the assemblies, the esteem of Messiah.
24. Therefore show to them the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf, and in the presence of the assemblies.
