2 Corinthians 8:24

Love for others

22 And we are sending along with them our brother whose earnestness has been proven many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you.

23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, to the glory of Christ.

In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.
