being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;

even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being sharers of the grace bestowed on me.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;

For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;

And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,

Yea, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

Let us, therefore, as many as are perfect, be of this mind; and if ye have a different mind in anything, even this will God reveal to you.
