⁷ For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

¹³ Therefore we have been comforted: And in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.

²⁰ Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.

¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

⁴ Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.

⁴ Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

⁵ Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;

⁶ who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:

⁴ I rejoice greatly that I have found `certain' of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

¹³ And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, `even the word' of God, ye accepted `it' not `as' the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
