"But," not "therefore" (as in A.V.). The apostle means "but it is," or "my object in doing so is," or "what I have in my mind in thus sending Titus is."

WK Translation Notes

a
There is no real ground for translating the word "but" as "therefore;" "but" introduces a new appeal.
b
Some adopt the strange reading "from us to you." Internal evidence would be decisive against this if the external evidence were not as strong as it is.
