Some of God’s people in Jerusalem are poor. And \{The believers in\} Macedonia and Achaia wanted to help those people. So they gathered some money to give them.
I asked Titus to go to you. And I sent our brother with him. Titus did not cheat you, did he? No! You know that Titus and I did the same things and with the same spirit.
I boasted to Titus about you. And you showed that I was right. Everything that we said to you was true. And you have proved that the things that we boasted about to Titus are true.
Now about Titus—he is my partner. He is working together with me to help you. And about the other brothers—they are sent from the churches (groups of believers), and they bring glory to Christ.
