For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
He didn't just say yes when we asked him to help, he was already eager to go and actually took the initiative to come to you himself.
Sometimes the best people don't wait to be asked twice, they're already on their way.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the Apostle Paul was writing to the Corinthians to encourage them in their financial support for the impoverished believers in Jerusalem, as part of a broader effort to unite the early church. He refers to Titus, who had been urged by Paul to visit Corinth and assist with this collection, but Titus went beyond the encouragement by volunteering eagerly on his own. This highlights the personal initiative and dedication that characterized many early Christian leaders in spreading the gospel and aiding fellow believers.
