- See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
- So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong or of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are.
- By all this we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
- I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well.
- And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient, receiving him with fear and trembling.

- 你看,你们依着神的意思忧愁,从此就生出何等的殷勤,自诉,自恨,恐惧,想念,热心,责罚(或作自责),在这一切事上你们都表明自己是洁净的。
- 我虽然从前写信给你们却不是为那亏负人的,也不是为那受人亏负的,乃要在神面前,把你们顾念我们的热心,表明出来。
- 故此我们得了安慰,并且在安慰之中,因你们众人使提多心里畅快欢喜,我们就更加欢喜了。
- 我若对提多夸奖了你们什么,也觉得没有惭愧。因我对提多夸奖你们的话,成了真的。正如我对你们所说的话,也都是真的。
- 并且提多想起你们众人的顺服,是怎样恐惧战竞的接待他,他爱你们的心肠就越发热了。
