2 Corinthians 8:22; Proved Diligent
2 Corinthians 8:22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
Thank God for raising honest and diligent men for the work of the gospel. Although the Apostle Paul did not name this man, he was able to recommend him as a man of integrity and dependability. Moreover, he was one whom we notice served without having to be noticed. His contribution was invaluable. God rewards such faithful labour of His servants who for the honour and glory of God hazard their lives.
The journey, no doubt, is fraught with danger, knowing that a substantial sum is being entrusted to the care of these men. As mentioned, the two unknown men mentioned thus far have been men of repute in the sight of God and men and have volunteered their services for the gospel’s sake.
