¹⁷ I rejoice over the ^[a](A)coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because they have ^[b]supplied ^(B)what was lacking on your part.

⁶ But ^(A)God, who comforts the ^[a]discouraged, ^(B)comforted us by the arrival of ^(C)Titus;

⁷ and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted among you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.

¹⁰ For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his ^[a]personal presence is ^(A)unimpressive and ^(B)his speech contemptible.”

²⁶ so that your ^(A)pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.

¹² So then, my beloved, ^(A)just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own ^(B)salvation with ^(C)fear and trembling;
