19 (A)and not only that, but he has also been (B)appointed by the churches to travel with us in (C)this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our (D)readiness, 20 [a]taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; 21 for we (E)have regard for what is honorable, not only in (F)the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of other people. 22 We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for (G)Titus, he is my (H)partner and fellow worker [b]among you; as for our (I)brothers, they are [c](J)messengers of the churches, (K)a glory to Christ. 24 Therefore, [d]openly before the churches, [e]show them the proof of your love and of our (L)reason for boasting about you.
