Whomsoever ye shall approve by letters (hous ean dokimasēte di' epistolōn).

To carry (apenegkein). Second aorist active infinitive of apopherō, to bear away.
Bounty (charin). Gift, grace, as in 2Co 8:4-7. As a matter of fact, the messengers of the churches (apostoloi ekklēsiōn 2Co 8:23) went along with Paul to Jerusalem (Act 20:4.).
