2 Corinthians 8:20-22
New English Translation

20 We did this[a] as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering. 21 For we are concerned about what is right not only before the Lord but also before men.[b] 22 And we are sending[c] 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.

  3. 2 Corinthians 8:22 tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.
