And brought

For even after I reached Macedonia, my flesh had no rest, but I was troubled on every hand. Without were fights; within were, fears.

Faith

Faith, Hope, Love endure??hese three; but the greatest of these is Love.

because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

(since I heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love to all the saints)

I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.

Now the end of the exhortation is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and an undissembled faith.

And that

You recall, brothers, my labor and toil; how, while working at my trade day and night, so as not to become a burden to any of you, I proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

Indeed I praise you for remembering me in everything, and because you are holding fast to the traditions just as you received them.

I, Paul, add this farewell in my own handwriting. Do not forget these chains of mine. Grace be with you.

I give thanks to God whom I worship with a pure conscience as my fathers did, when I remember you unceasingly in my prayers.

Remember those who are in prison, as if you were fellow prisoners; remember too, those who are being ill-treated, since you too, are in the body.

Desiring

For what thanksgiving can I render again to God in your behalf, in return for all the joy which you cause me in the presence of my God?

But I, my brothers, although torn from you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made eager efforts to behold you face to face with strong longing.

God is my witness how I yearn for you all in the tenderness of Christ Jesus.
