17. For certainly, he accepted the exhortation. But since he was more solicitous, he went to you of his own free will.
18. And we have even sent with him a brother whose praise accompanies the Gospel throughout all the churches.
19. And not only that, but he was also chosen by the churches to be a companion for our sojourn in this grace, which is ministered by us with our determined will, to the glory of the Lord.
20. So let us avoid this, lest anyone disparage us over the abundance that is ministered by us.
