As the cold H6793 of snow H7950 in the time H3117 of harvest, H7105 so H3651 is a faithful H539 messenger H6735 to them that send H7971 him: for he refreshes H7725 the soul H5315 of his masters. H113

As cold H7119 waters H4325 to a thirsty soul, H5315 so H3651 is good H2896 news H8052 from a far H4801 country. H776

That I may come G2064 to you with joy G5479 by the will G2307 of God, G2316 and may with you be refreshed. G4875

Nevertheless G235 God, G2316 that comforts G3870 those G3588 that are cast G5011 down, G5011 comforted G3870 us by the coming G3952 of Titus; G5103

And not by his coming G3952 only, G3440 but by the consolation G3874 with which G3739 he was comforted G3870 in you, when he told G312 us your G5216 earnest G1972 desire, G1972 your G5216 mourning, G3602 your G5216 fervent G2205 mind G3563 toward G5228 me; so G5620 that I rejoiced G5463 the more. G3123

Therefore G1223 G5124 we were comforted G3870 in your G5213 comfort: G3874 yes, and exceedingly G4056 the more G3123 joyed G5463 we for the joy G5479 of Titus, G5103 because G3754 his spirit G4151 was refreshed G373 by you all. G3956

I sent G3992 him therefore G3767 the more G4708 carefully, G4708 that, when you see G1492 him again, G3825 you may rejoice, G5463 and that I may be the less G253 sorrowful. G253

Whom G3739 I have sent G3992 to you for the same G846 purpose, that he might know G1097 your estate, G5216 G4012 and comfort G3870 your G5216 hearts; G2588

But now G737 when Timotheus G5095 came G2064 from you to us, and brought G2097 us good G2097 tidings G2097 of your G5216 faith G4102 and charity, G26 and that you have G2192 good G18 remembrance G3417 of us always, G3842 desiring G1971 greatly G1971 to see G1492 us, as we also G2532 to see you:

Therefore, G1223 G5125 brothers, G80 we were comforted G3870 over G1909 you in all G3956 our affliction G2347 and distress G318 by your G5216 faith: G4102

I have G2192 no G3756 greater G3186 joy G5479 than to hear G191 that my children G5043 walk G4043 in truth. G225

And we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 to know G1492 them which G3588 labor G2872 among G1722 you, and are over G4291 you in the Lord, G2962 and admonish G3560 you;

Receive G4327 him therefore G3767 in the Lord G2962 with all G3956 gladness; G5479 and hold G2192 such G5108 in reputation: G1784

Remember G3421 them which have G3918 the rule G2233 over you, who G3748 have G3918 spoken G2980 to you the word G3056 of God: G2316 whose G3739 faith G4102 follow, G3401 considering G333 the end G1545 of their conversation. G391

Beloved, G27 follow G3401 not that which is evil, G2556 but that which is good. G18 He that does G15 good G15 is of God: G2316 but he that does G2554 evil G2554 has not seen G3708 God. G2316

Demetrius G1216 has good report G3140 of all G3956 men, and of the truth G225 itself: G846 yes, G1161 and we also G2532 bear record; G3140 and you know G1492 that our record G3141 is true. G227
