For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.
Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,
I am acting with great boldness toward you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.
For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God.
Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?
I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,
And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
