⁷ for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

¹³ because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;

²⁰ Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord;

¹⁶ may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed,

⁴ great `is' my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,

³ for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk;

⁴ greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking.

⁵ Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers,

⁶ who did testify of thy love before an assembly, whom thou wilt do well, having sent forward worthily of God,

⁴ I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father;

⁹ for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?

¹⁹ for what `is' our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?

¹³ Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

³ unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,
