‏ 2 Corinthians 8:21

We take thought ( προνουμεν ). Old verb, to plan beforehand ( προ- ) as in Ro 12:17; 1Ti 5:8.

But also in the sight of men ( αλλα κα ενωπιον ανθρωπων ). It is not enough for one's financial accounts to be honourable ( καλα ) as God sees them, but they should be so kept that men can understand them also. A timely warning. Paul took the utmost pains that no suspicion could be attached to him in this collection.
