19 and not only that, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us while we are administering this generous undertaking for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our goodwill.

2 Corinthians 8:19 In-Context

17 For he not only accepted our appeal, but since he is more eager than ever, he is going to you of his own accord.
18 With him we are sending the brother who is famous among all the churches for his proclaiming the good news;
19 and not only that, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us while we are administering this generous undertaking for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our goodwill.
20 We intend that no one should blame us about this generous gift that we are administering,
21 for we intend to do what is right not only in the Lord's sight but also in the sight of others.
