2 Korintus 8:12-24

8:12 For if the eagerness is present, the gift itself ¹  is acceptable according to whatever one has, not according to what he does not have. 8:13 For I do not say this so there would be relief for others and suffering for you, but as a matter of equality. 8:14 At the present time, your abundance will meet their need, ²  so that one day their abundance may also meet your need, and thus there may be equality, 8:15 as it is written: “The one who gathered ³  much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” ⁴ 

The Mission of Titus

8:16 But thanks be to God who put in the heart of Titus the same devotion ⁵  I have for you, 8:17 because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, ⁶  he is coming ⁷  to you of his own accord. ⁸  8:18 And we are sending ⁹  along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel. ¹⁰  8:19 In addition, ¹¹  this brother ¹²  has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift ¹³  to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help. ¹⁴  8:20 We did this ¹⁵  as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering. 8:21 For we are concerned about what is right not only before the Lord but also before men. ¹⁶  8:22 And we are sending ¹⁷  with them our brother whom we have tested many times and found eager in many matters, but who now is much more eager than ever because of the great confidence he has in you. 8:23 If there is any question ¹⁸  about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; if there is any question about our brothers, they are messengers ¹⁹  of the churches, a glory to Christ. 8:24 Therefore show ²⁰  them openly before the churches the proof of your love and of our pride in you. ²¹
