15As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.
16But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
17For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
18And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;
19And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:
20And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:
21For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.
