Book ◦ Chapter

More than that
This phrase indicates a continuation or addition to a previous point. In the context of2 Corinthians 8, Paul is discussing the collection for the saints in Jerusalem. The phrase suggests that the following information is of significant importance, building upon the trust and integrity already established.

this brother
The identity of "this brother" is not explicitly mentioned, but he is likely a well-respected figure within the early Christian community. The anonymity may emphasize the collective effort and unity of the church rather than individual recognition. This reflects the early church's emphasis on communal responsibility and shared mission.

was chosen by the churches
The selection by the churches indicates a democratic process and communal decision-making, highlighting the early church's practice of involving multiple congregations in significant decisions. This also underscores the trust and accountability within the body of believers, as the chosen individual would represent the collective interests of the churches.

to accompany us
The presence of a companion for Paul and his associates in delivering the offering underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in handling financial matters. This practice is consistent with Jewish customs of having multiple witnesses to ensure integrity, as seen inDeuteronomy 19:15.

with the gracious offering
The term "gracious offering" refers to the collection being gathered for the impoverished believers in Jerusalem. This act of giving is seen as an expression of grace, reflecting the generosity and love that should characterize Christian communities. It aligns with the biblical principle of supporting fellow believers, as seen inActs 2:44-45.

we administer
Paul and his companions are responsible for overseeing the collection and distribution of the offering. This administration is not just a logistical task but a spiritual duty, reflecting the stewardship entrusted to them by God and the churches. It highlights the role of church leaders in managing resources for the benefit of the community.

to honor the Lord Himself
The ultimate purpose of the offering is to glorify God. This aligns with the biblical teaching that all actions, including giving, should be done for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). It reflects the understanding that acts of charity and support for others are acts of worship and service to God.

and to show our eagerness to help
This phrase emphasizes the willingness and enthusiasm of the early Christians to support their fellow believers. It reflects the spirit of generosity and compassion that is encouraged throughout the New Testament, as seen in passages likeGalatians 6:10. The eagerness to help is a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel in fostering love and unity among believers.

Unity in the Body of Christ
The collective effort of various churches to support the believers in Jerusalem exemplifies the unity and interconnectedness of the body of Christ. We are called to support one another in times of need.

Glorifying God through Service

What Does 2 Corinthians 8:19 Mean

More than that

Paul is building on what he has already said about the trustworthy messengers he is sending. He is not merely repeating himself; he is adding weight. In2 Corinthians 8:17–18 he noted Titus’s zeal and another brother’s fame in the gospel; now he layers on further assurance. Just as inPhilippians 3:1, he piles truth upon truth so the Corinthians will have full confidence in this collection effort.

This brother

Paul does not name the man, but his reputation in the gospel is well-known (v. 18). Much like Barnabas inActs 11:24, this unnamed brother is recognized for integrity and faithfulness, illustratingProverbs 22:1—“A good name is more desirable than great riches.” His anonymity keeps the focus on Christ rather than on personalities (1 Corinthians 3:5–7).

Was chosen by the churches

The selection came from multiple congregations, not from Paul alone. This mirrorsActs 6:3, where the Jerusalem church chose seven men to handle funds fairly. By involving various churches, Paul upholds the principle of corporate discernment (Acts 15:22) and shields himself from any accusation of mishandling money (2 Corinthians 8:20–21).

To accompany us

The brother will travel with Paul and his team, ensuring transparency on the journey. InLuke 10:1, Jesus sent disciples out two by two; here Paul follows the same wisdom. Having companions safeguards against temptation and provides eyewitness validation of faithful stewardship (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10).

With the gracious offering

The “gracious offering” refers to the monetary gift for the impoverished believers in Jerusalem (Romans 15:25–27). Paul calls it “gracious” (charis) because it flows from God’s grace working in the Macedonians and Corinthians (2 Corinthians 8:1). Giving is an extension of grace, echoing Jesus’ teaching inMatthew 10:8—“Freely you have received; freely give.”

We administer

Paul sees himself and his coworkers as administrators, not owners (1 Corinthians 4:1–2). Their role is stewardship. Like Joseph overseeing Egypt’s grain (Genesis 41:41), Paul manages the funds for the benefit of others, conscious that “it is required of stewards that they be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2).

To honor the Lord Himself

The ultimate aim is worship, not financial relief alone.Psalm 115:1 captures the heart: “Not to us, O LORD, but to Your name be the glory.” By channeling gifts to needy saints, believers glorify Christ, who said, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me” (Matthew 25:40). The offering is a tangible act of honoring the Lord (Proverbs 3:9).

And to show our eagerness to help

Generosity proves sincere love (2 Corinthians 8:8). The Macedonians “pleaded earnestly” for this privilege (v. 4), and Paul wants the Corinthians to match that zeal (v. 7).Hebrews 10:24 urges believers to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Eagerness here is not emotion alone; it is active readiness, reflected in1 John 3:18—“Let us love not with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

summary

2 Corinthians 8:19 shows Paul’s careful, transparent handling of the Jerusalem relief fund. A respected brother, chosen by multiple churches, travels with Paul to manage the gracious offering. The purpose is twofold: to honor the Lord and to demonstrate earnest love for fellow believers. Involving others safeguards integrity, encourages unity, and turns financial giving into heartfelt worship.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19)Who was also chosen of the churches.--The word, as inActs 14:23, implies a definite appointment, in this case, obviously, by popular election--on the part of the Macedonian churches. This falls in, it need hardly be said, with the facts of the case as indicated by the use of the first person plural inActs 20:5, and through the rest of the book.

With this grace.--The word is used, as in2Corinthians 8:4;2Corinthians 8:6-7, as we familiarly use the word "charity," for the liberality which was the result of the grace.

To the glory of the same Lord.--Better, if we keep the Received text,of the Lord Himself; but the better MSS. give,of the Lord, only. There is no need of inserting the word "declaration of";in relation to the glory of the Lord and to your readiness gives a perfectly intelligible sense.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 19. -Chosen. The word (literally,chosen by show of hands) implies a popular vote (comp.1 Corinthians 16:3, 4). This brother Was not only widely known and valued, but also specially selected for this task.To travel with us. "As our fellow traveller." The word occurs inActs 19:29.With this grace. The better reading is "in:" "in this matter of kindness."To the glory of the same Lord. The word "same" should be omitted.And declaration of your ready mind. The best reading is "our," and the clause should be rendered, tofurther the glory of the Lord and our readiness.
