2 Corinthians 8:17

17 for he not only responded to our urging, but, being so devoted, he is coming to you on his own initiative.

2 Corinthians 8:17 In-Context

15 It is as the Tanakh says, "He who gathered much had nothing extra, and he who gathered little had nothing lacking."
16 Now I thank God for making Titus as devoted to you as we are;
17 for he not only responded to our urging, but, being so devoted, he is coming to you on his own initiative.
18 And with him we are sending the brother whose work for the Good News is praised in all the congregations;
19 not only that, he has also been appointed by the congregations to travel with us, so that the way we administer this charitable work will bring honor to the Lord and show our eagerness to help.
