⁹ These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a ^(A)righteous man, ^[a](B)blameless in his generation. Noah ^(C)walked with God.

² And ^[a]Stephen said, “Listen to me, ^[b](A)brothers and fathers! ^(B)The God of glory ^(C)appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in ^[c]Haran, ³ and He said to him, ‘^(D)Go from your country and your relatives, and come to the land which I will show you.’ ^4 (E)Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in ^[d]Haran. And ^(F)from there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.

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

¹³ Because of this, we have been ^(A)comforted.

And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of ^(B)Titus, because his ^(C)spirit has been refreshed by you all.
