2 Corinthians 8:16-24

Titus Commended

(Titus 1:1–4)

16 But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you. 17For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.

18 Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel. 19More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the gracious offering we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.

20 We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift . 21For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.

22 And we are sending along with them our brother who has proven his earnestness to us many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you. 23As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ. 24In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

Psalm 50:1-23

The Mighty One Calls

1 A Psalm of Asaph.

The Mighty One, God the Lord,

speaks and summons the earth

from where the sun rises to where it sets.

2 From Zion, perfect in beauty,

God shines forth.

3 Our God approaches and will not be silent!

Consuming fire precedes Him,

and a tempest rages around Him.

4 He summons the heavens above,

and the earth, that He may judge His people:

5“Gather to Me My saints,

who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

6 And the heavens proclaim His righteousness,

for God Himself is Judge.

Selah

7“Hear, O My people, and I will speak,

O Israel, and I will testify against you:

I am God, your God.

8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices,

and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall

or goats from your pens,

10 for every beast of the forest is Mine —

the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know every bird in the mountains,

and the creatures of the field are Mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls,

or drink the blood of goats?

14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God,

and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

16 To the wicked, however, God says,

“What right have you to recite My statutes

and to bear My covenant on your lips?

17 For you hate My instruction

and cast My words behind you.

18 When you see a thief, you befriend him,

and throw in your lot with adulterers.

19 You unleash your mouth for evil

and harness your tongue to deceit.

20 You sit and malign your brother;

you slander your own mother’s son.

21 You have done these things, and I kept silent;

you thought I was just like you.

But now I rebuke you

and accuse you to your face.

22 Now consider this, you who forget God,

lest I tear you to pieces,

with no one to rescue you:

23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me,

and to him who rightly orders his way,

I will show the salvation of God.”

Proverbs 22:22-23

Saying 2

22 Do not rob a poor man because he is poor,

and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,

23 for the Lord will take up their case

and will plunder those who rob them.
