³² so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and ^(A)be refreshed in your company.

¹⁸ for they ^(A)refreshed my spirit as well as yours. ^(B)Give recognition to such people.

²¹ But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you ^(A)if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.

²⁰ Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. ^(A)Refresh my heart in Christ.

⁷ For I have derived much joy and ^(A)comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints ^(B)have been refreshed through you.

¹³ Therefore ^(A)we are comforted.

And besides our own comfort, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit ^(B)has been refreshed by you all.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to ^(A)the household of Onesiphorus, for he often ^(B)refreshed me and was not ashamed of ^(C)my chains,

¹⁵ Instead you ought to say, ^(A)“If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

Timothy's Encouraging Report

⁶ But ^(A)now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of ^(B)your faith and love and reported ^(C)that you always remember us kindly and ^(D)long to see us, as we long to see you— ⁷ for this reason, brothers,^[a] in all our distress and affliction ^(E)we have been comforted about you through your faith. ⁸ For now we live, if you ^(F)are standing fast in the Lord. ⁹ For ^(G)what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God, ¹⁰ as we pray most earnestly ^(H)night and day ^(I)that we may see you face to face and ^(J)supply what is lacking in your faith?
