have guided and encouraged many in need.
Everyone was pleased with what I said and did.
My advice was followed as though I were a king leading my troops, or someone comforting those in sorrow.
Remember how your words
But now you feel discouraged when struck by trouble.
When someone stumbles or falls, you give a helping hand.
Sharp words cut like a sword, but words of wisdom heal.
The right word at the right time is like precious gold set in silver.
The LORD God gives me the right words to encourage the weary. Each morning he awakens me eager to learn his teaching;
He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his knees started shaking, and his legs became weak.
When people sin, you should forgive and comfort them, so they won't give up in despair.
But God cheers up people in need, and that is what he did when he sent Titus to us.
My friends, we beg you to warn anyone who isn't living right. Encourage anyone who feels left out, help all who are weak, and be patient with everyone.
Now stand up straight! Stop your knees from shaking
