Titus » Paul's love for
As for Titus, remember that he is a partner of mine, and is also my associate in labors for you. As for the other brothers, remember that they are delegates from the churches, men in whom Christ is glorified.
I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my brother. So I bade them good-bye and started off for Macedonia.
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
But the God who comforts the down-hearted comforted me by the coming of Titus, and not alone by his coming, but also by the comfort you had been to him. For he told me of your eager longing, of your penitence, and of your zeal on my behalf, so that I was happier still.
This is what comforts me. In addition to this comfort of mine, I have been made still happier by the happiness of Titus; because his spirit was refreshed by you all. Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, I have not been put to shame. But as in every matter I have spoken the truth to you, so also my boast to Titus has been proved to be the truth.
