Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co- worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love.

I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—

I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
