2 Corinthians 8:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Also, this brother was ·chosen [appointed] by the churches to go with us ·when we deliver this gift of money [or in this ministry/administration of grace]. We are doing this ·service [ministry] to bring glory to the Lord and to show ·that we really want [our eagerness/willingness] to help.

²⁰ We are being careful so that no one will ·criticize [blame] us for the way we are handling this ·large [abundant; generous] gift. ²¹ [^LFor] We are trying hard to do what is right, not only before the Lord but also before people [Prov. 3:4].
