This command I set before thee, child Timothy, according to the prophecies leading the way for thee, so that by them thou might war the good warfare.


But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child to a father, he served with me for the good-news.


to Timothy, a beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I have gratitude to God whom I serve from the forefathers in a pure conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance about thee in my supplications, night and day longing to see thee, having remembered thy tears, so that I may be filled with joy,


whether on behalf of Titus my partner and co-workman for you, or our brothers, apostles of congregations, a glory of Christ.

I had no rest in my spirit, my not finding Titus my brother. But having departed from them, I went forth into Macedonia.

to Titus, a genuine child according to the common faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

Nevertheless God, who encourages the lowly, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. And not only by his presence, but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you, reporting to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

Because of this we have been encouraged. And from your encouragement, we rejoiced to a greater degree more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all. Because, if I have boasted anything to him about you, I am not ashamed, but as we spoke all things in truth to you, so also our boast to Titus became truth.
