Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Corinthians 8:16

"But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus." — 2 Corinthians 8:16 (ASV)

Thanks be to God, which put . . .—Better, which puts, the verb being in the present tense, and referring to what was then happening after Titus’s return from Corinth.

The same earnest care.—There is no direct comparison, but what he means is the same care as his own. Titus had shown himself a true son of his spiritual father (Titus 1:1).
