nor did we seek glory either from you or from any other mere men, although we might have stood on our dignity as Christ's Apostles.

But we, brethren, having been for a short time separated from you in bodily presence, though not in heart, endeavoured all the more earnestly, with intense longing, to see you face to face.

But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you--

while night and day, with intense earnestness, we pray that we may see your faces, and may bring to perfection whatever may be still lacking in your faith?

See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.
