2 CORINTHIANS 8:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:”
What is more, he was chosen by the churches to accompany us as we carry the offering, which we administer in order to honor the Lord himself and to show our eagerness to help — the collection is administered collectively (*hēmeis* periphrastically distributed), not by Paul alone. The gift honors *kyrios*, the Lord, and demonstrates *prohaíresis*, earnest willing eagerness. Transparency and shared authority prevent the corruption of *diakonia*.
