18 And we have also sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the Gospel throughout all the Churches.
19 And not only so but was also chosen by the churches to be a fellow traveler concerning this grace that is ministered by us, to the glory of the same Lord, and the declaration of your eager mind.
20 And so avoiding this: that no one should blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
21 providing for honest things, not only before the Lord, but also before man.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved to be diligent in many things, but who is now much more diligent because of the great confidence in you.
23 And if anyone asks about Titus, he is my partner and helper concerning you; or of our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24 Therefore, show toward them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of the rejoicing that we have on your behalf.
