2 Corinthians 8:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
In context
15 As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
16 But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
17 For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
18 Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
19 More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the offering —the gracious gift we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.
