2 Corinthians 8:16; But Thanks Be to God
2 Corinthians 8:16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
The Apostle Paul was thankful to God that He has put into the heart of Titus a heart to care for the Corinthian Church. A heart that the Apostle Paul can identify with in his care for this church. He termed it as “the same earnest care”. The phrase “earnest care” is one word in Greek that means “diligence, hastiness, earnest”. There is vibrant energy of God’s love that is according to God’s laws and filled with God’s anointing presence. Both Paul and Titus were God’s instrument of care for His people.
