Titus

“I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.”

“But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,”

“and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.”

“On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.”

“Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.”

“As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, to the glory of Christ.”

“To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.”

“For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.”
