| II Corinthians 8:22
| And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things: but now much more diligent, with much confidence in you,
| \f + \fr 8:22-23\ft With much confidence in you, either for Titus, etc. Some expound it of the confidence which this the third brother had in the Corinthians, but it seems rather to be understood of the confidence which St. Paul himself had in them, that they would shew great respect both to Titus, and to the other brethren whom he sent. He concludes, (ver. 24.) by exhorting them to these charitable contributions, which he calls the manifestation of their charity, in the sight of the Churches. Literally, in the face of the Churches, in your public meetings. (Witham) --- Most commentators understand here Apollo, but without any certainty. (Bible de Vence)
