On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This would be a proper testimony of their respect and brotherly love to their distressed brethren, to send their gift by members of their own body, trusty and tenderhearted, who would have compassion on their suffering brethren, and a Christian concern for them, and not defraud them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

If English Version be retained, the sense will be, "When I come, I will send those whom by your letters, then to be given them, ye shall approve." But the antithesis (opposition or contrast) to Paul himself (1Co 16:4) favors GROTIUS' view. So "by" means with (Ro 2:27); and the Greek for "by" is translated, with (2Co 2:4). liberality--literally, gracious or free gift (2Co 8:4).
