16-22. Paul Commends Titus to the Corinthians—Titus has been so successful in raising gifts among the churches in Macedonia that Paul desired him to visit Corinth and continue in the same work. Another brother, “whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,” and still another “whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things,” were sent to accompany Titus. Paul wrote a letter to the Corinthians commending to them these brethren who had so willingly undertaken such a difficult task. In this letter he reminded them of an effort that had been put forth a year previous to raise a contribution at Corinth (Manuscript 101, 1906).{6BC 1104.6}21. See EGW comment on Romans 12:17.{6BC 1104.7}

16-22. Paulus anbefaler Titus for korinterne. - Titus havde so god succes med at oprejse gaver iblandt de makedonske menigheder at Paulus ønskede at han ville besøge Korint og fortsætte det samme arbejde. En anden bror, ”der i alle menighederne har et godt navn som tjener for evangeliet” og endnu mere ”hvis iver vi ofte på mange måder har set bevis på”, blev sendt for at ledsage Titus. Paulus skrev et brev til korinterne og roste de brødre for dem, som var villig til at påtage sig en vanskelig opgave. I dette brev mindede han dem om de anstrengelser der blev gjort for nogle år siden, at oprejse en fond i Korint (MS 101, 1906).
