2 Corinthians 8:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹ He was appointed by the churches to accompany us as we take the offering to Jerusalem^[a]—a service that glorifies the Lord and shows our eagerness to help.

²⁰ We are traveling together to guard against any criticism for the way we are handling this generous gift. ²¹ We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable.
