I have no greater joy than these things, that I hear [that] my children are walking in truth.

I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.

always in every prayer of mine in behalf of you all, with joy,

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [Is] it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

For you are our glory and joy.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted over you, as he reported to us your earnest longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

Because of this I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

do not cease to give thanks concerning you, making mention of you in my prayers:

just as also you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

But now when Timothy came to us from you, and brought good news to us of your faith and your love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, as we also [long to see] you--

Because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

on account of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.

I have hidden Your oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
