Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Paul is providing goods in the sight of God when he teaches that what God commands concerning the administering of aid to the saints or to the poor ought to be put into practice. But he also provides goods in the sight of others, because he is sending people to urge them to take part in this undertaking. Paul does not want his teaching to incur reproach because of improvident assistants. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
