For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that {is} unprofitable for you. {have...: or, guide}

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels {of compassion} from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

For what {is} our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? {Are} not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? {rejoicing: or, glorying?}

If {there be} therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

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

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, {my} dearly beloved.

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.

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

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.

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

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

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise {child} shall have joy of him.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

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.

I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. {present: Heb. found}

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, {being} of one accord, of one mind.

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
