2 Corinthians 8:17 - Adam Clarke

2 Corinthians 8:17

15 As it is written, ^a“He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

Collection for the Judean Saints

16 But thanks be to God who¹ puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

17 For he not only accepted the exhortation, but being more diligent, he went to you of his own accord.

18 And we have sent with him ^athe brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,

19 and not only that, but who was also ^achosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us ^bto the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,

20 avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this lavish gift which is administered by us—

He accepted the exhortation - I advised him to visit you and excite you to this good work, and I found that he was already disposed in his heart to do it; God put this earnest care in the heart of Titus for you, II Corinthians 8:16.
