5 In fact, when we came into Macedonia,ab weI had no rest. Instead, we were troubled in every way: conflictsac on the outside, fearsad within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast,ae comforted us by the arrival of Titus, 7 and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he received from you. He told us about your deep longing, your sorrow, and your zealaf for me, so that I rejoiced even more.
