So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the Synagogue.

But--not to be tedious--I beg you, with your accustomed fairness, to listen to a brief statement of our case.

I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my Brother; so I took leave of the people there, and went on to Macedonia.

But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.

In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.

And this led us to urge upon Titus that, as he had started the work for you, he should also see to the completion of this expression of your love.

I thank God for inspiring Titus with the same keen interest in your welfare that I have;

For Titus has responded to my appeals and, in his great earnestness, is starting to go to you of his own accord.

If I must say anything about Titus, he is my intimate companion, and he shares my work for you; if it is our Brothers, they are delegates of the Churches, an honor to Christ.
