Titus Commended

16 But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

16:

17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

17:

18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;

18:

19 And not [that] only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind:

19:

20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

20:

21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

21:

22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.

22:

23 Whether [any do inquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of, they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ.

23:

24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

24:
