Expanded Bible

¹⁷ [^LFor] Titus accepted what we asked him to do. He ·wanted very much [was eager] to go to you, and this was ·his own idea [of his own accord]. ¹⁸ We are sending with him the brother who is praised by all the churches because of his service ·in preaching the Good News [^Lin the Gospel; ^Cunknown person, possibly Luke]. ¹⁹ Also, this brother was ·chosen [appointed] by the churches to go with us ·when we deliver this gift of money [or in this ministry/administration of grace]. We are doing this ·service [ministry] to bring glory to the Lord and to show ·that we really want [our eagerness/willingness] to help.
