2 Corinthians 8:6
8:6 Thus
we urged
Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work,
so also he should complete this act of kindness
for you.
2 Corinthians 8:16-23
The Mission of Titus
8:16 But thanks be to God who put in the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you,
8:17 because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.
8:18 And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel.
8:19 In addition, this brother has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.
8:20 We did this 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.
8:22 And we are sending 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 about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; if there is any question about our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.
Philippians 2:19-22
Models for Ministry
2:19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you.
2:20 For there is no one here like him who will readily demonstrate his deep concern for you.
2:21 Others are busy with their own concerns, not those of Jesus Christ.
2:22 But you know his qualifications, that like a son working with his father, he served with me in advancing the gospel.
