Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,

He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;

So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way.

Like minded

For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

One accord

And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place.

Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.

General references

And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.

Let all you do be done in love.

Go on loving your brothers in the faith.
