Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God...: Gr. of our God and Saviour}

To Titus, {mine} own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, {and} peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Great {is} my boldness of speech toward you, great {is} my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; {Greatly...: or, remembering thy tears, I greatly desire to see thee that}

I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort {you} that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your {company}. {with...: Gr. with you}

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God...: Gr. of our God and Saviour}

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your {company}. {with...: Gr. with you}

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

To Titus, {mine} own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, {and} peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
