I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

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.

For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.

But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.

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