And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,
I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
