He has delivered us from such a terrible death, and He will deliver us. We have put our hope in Him that He will deliver us again

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—did not become “Yes and no”; on the contrary, a final “Yes” has come in Him.

For every one of God’s promises is “Yes” in Him. Therefore, the “Amen” is also spoken through Him by us for God’s glory.

As a result, you should instead forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, this one may be overwhelmed by excessive grief.

Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.

But thanks be to God, who always puts us on display in Christ and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to Him.

From now on, then, we do not know anyone in a purely human way. Even if we have known Christ in a purely human way, yet now we no longer know Him in this way.

He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Working together with Him, we also appeal to you, “Don’t receive God’s grace in vain.”

For if I have made any boast to him about you, I have not been embarrassed; but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, so our boasting to Titus has also turned out to be the truth.

And his affection toward you is even greater as he remembers the obedience of all of you, and how you received him with fear and trembling.

We have sent with him the brother who is praised throughout the churches for his gospel ministry.

I urged Titus to come, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit and in the same footsteps?

In fact, He was crucified in weakness, but He lives by God’s power. For we also are weak in Him, yet toward you we will live with Him by God’s power.
