The Affections: should be Set: Upon the People of God

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. …

We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
