2 Corinthians 8:20

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—

21 ^aproviding honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

22 And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, because of the great confidence which we have in you.

Avoiding this, that no man should blame us - Taking this prudent caution to have witnesses of our conduct, and such as were chosen by the Churches themselves, that we might not be suspected of having either embezzled or misapplied their bounty, See the note on I Corinthians 16:4.
