Bible verse
But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
2 Corinthians 8:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Corinthians 8.
12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
13 It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.
14 At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality.
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.
20 We hope to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.
