Much freedom of speech to me toward you; to me much boasting over you: I am filled with consolation, I superabound in joy in all your pressure.

According to my anxious expectation, and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all freedom of speech, as always, and now shall Christ be Magnified in my body, whether by life, whether by death.

But if also I am poured out upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice together with you all.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill again the necessities of the pressures of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church.

In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.

And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their souls till death.
