I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but saying goodbye to them, I went on to Macedonia.

But God, who comforts the discouraged, comforted us by the arrival of Titus;

Because of this, we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

For if I have boasted to him about you regarding anything, I was not put to shame. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.

So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.

But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness in your behalf in the heart of Titus.

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

I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?
