2 Corintios 8:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 8:21

Providing for honest things
Or premeditating, forecasting, or considering before hand in the mind, things that are good, that are of good report among men, as well as accounted good by God; for it becomes professors of religion, and especially ministers of the Gospel, to be careful not only to exercise a good conscience towards God; but so to behave, that they may obtain and preserve the good opinion of men; for when they have once lost their credit and reputation among men, their ministry becomes in a great, measure useless; wherefore the apostle adds,

not only in the sight of the Lord:
the same Lord as before, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is a diligent searcher of the hearts, and discerner of the thoughts, and observer of the ways and actions of all his people;

but also in the sight of men;
not that the apostle affected a mere outside show, popular applause, and the praise of men; but was concerned lest any weak persons, by their conduct, should be stumbled and fall, the edification of any should be hindered, and their ministry become unprofitable.

2 Corintios 8:21 In-Context

19 Además, las iglesias lo escogieron para que nos acompañe cuando llevemos la ofrenda, la cual administramos para honrar al Señor y demostrar nuestro ardiente deseo de servir.

20 Queremos evitar cualquier crítica sobre la forma en que administramos este generoso donativo;

21 porque procuramos hacer lo correcto, no solo delante del Señor sino también delante de los demás.

22 Con ellos les enviamos a nuestro hermano que nos ha demostrado con frecuencia y de muchas maneras que es diligente, y ahora lo es aún más por la gran confianza que tiene en ustedes.

23 En cuanto a Tito, es mi compañero y colaborador entre ustedes; y en cuanto a los otros hermanos, son enviados de las iglesias, son una honra para Cristo.
