- For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
- So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.
- For this reason we have been comforted And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
- For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.
- His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received 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。
