6 But God, who comforts those who are downhearted,+ comforted us by the presence of Titus; 7 and not only by his presence but also by the comfort he received because of you, as he reported back to us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, and your earnest concern for me; so I rejoiced even more.

3 Nevertheless, not even Titus,+ who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised,+ although he was a Greek.

4 to Titus,+ a genuine child according to the faith we share:

May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
