16 Thankes be vnto God, which put the same good mynde for you in the heart of Titus, 17 Because he accepted the exhortation, yea rather he was so well wylling, that of his owne accorde he came vnto you. 18 We haue sent with hym that brother whose praise is in the Gospel through out all the Churches. 19 (And not that only, but is also chosen of the Churches to be a felowe with vs in our iourney, concernyng this grace that is ministred by vs vnto the glorie of the same Lorde, and to stirre vp your redie mynde) 20 For this we eschewe, that any man shoulde rebuke vs in this plenteous distribution that is ministred by vs: 21 And make prouisio for honest thinges, not only in the syght of the Lorde, but also in the syght of men. 22 We haue sent with them a brother of ours, whom we haue oftentymes proued diligent in many thinges, but nowe much more diligent, for the great confidence whiche I haue in you: 23 Partly for Titus sake, which is my felowe & helper concernyng you: partly because of other which are our brethren and the messengers of the Churches, and the glorie of Christe. 24 Wherfore shewe ye vnto them ye profe of your loue, & of our reioycyng of you in the syght of the Churches. 2 Corinthians 8:16-24, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
