Arrangements For Administering The Corinthians' Gift

²⁰ We are trying to avoid any criticism of the way we are administering this great undertaking. ²¹ We intend to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of people. ²² We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested in many ways and found to be dedicated. At present he is more dedicated than ever because he has so much confidence in you.
