Our brother

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my compatriots.

For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am too.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us -- by me and Silvanus and Timothy -- was not "Yes" and "No," but it has always been "Yes" in him.

I had no relief in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said good-bye to them and set out for Macedonia.

If there is any question about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; if there is any question about our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you, so that you too may know about my circumstances, how I am doing.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you.

You learned the gospel from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave -- a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf --

I sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

To establish

so that your hearts are strengthened in holiness to be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

They strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith, saying, "We must enter the kingdom of God through many persecutions."

So the churches were being strengthened in the faith and were increasing in number every day.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.

And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,
