Thomas: “We can assume that without diluting the strength of Paul’s censure, [Titus] pleaded skilfully and tactfully with the Corinthians; assuring them that Paul, in speaking as he did, had only their spiritual wellbeing in mind. ”
Thomasi sõnab: ” Me võime olla kindlad, et Pauluse manitsust mahendamata veenis [Tiitus] korintlasi osavalt ja taktitundeliselt, kinnitades neile, et nõnda rääkides peab Paulus silmas nende vaimset heaolu. ”
