⁷ For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

¹³ Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

²⁰ Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

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

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.

⁴ I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.

⁵ Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.

⁶ They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

⁴ I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.

⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus{TR adds "Christ"} at his coming?

¹³ For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who 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.
