I have had no relief in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but, bidding them adieu, I went forth into Macedonia.

But God, who consoleth the lowly, consoled us by the coming of Titus;

For this cause, we have been consoled; but, in our consolation, we rejoice the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

For, if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not made ashamed; but, as we spake all things to you in truth, so also our glorying before Titus was found to be truth.

so that we exhorted Titus that, as he began before, so also he would finish in you this same grace also.

But thanks be to God Who putteth the same diligence for you into the heart of Titus.

Whether any one inquires about Titus, he is my partner, and my fellow-worker in your behalf; or our brethren, they are the messengers of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.

I entreated Titus, and sent with him the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? did we not walk in the same steps?
