For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.
For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.
But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts;
that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, So is a faithful messenger to them that send him; For he refresheth the soul of his masters.
Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.
Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.
