TSK · Colossians 4:8

to announce the year when the LORD will show his favor, the day when our God will seek vengeance, to console all who mourn,

who comforts us in all our troubles so that we may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

I urged Titus to visit you and I sent our brother along with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit? Did we not behave in the same way?

Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you can rejoice and I can be free from anxiety.

As you know, we treated each one of you as a father treats his own children,

So when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter somehow tempted you and our toil had proven useless.

Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as you are in fact doing.

encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good thing you do or say.
