and Paul answered, 'What do ye -- weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;'

Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

great is my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,

wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

wherefore, I ask you not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously treated (as ye have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the good news of God in much conflict,

that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,

for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard -- to that day.

and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.

Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,

we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life -- unto death;

I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it.

have ye not known that those running in a race -- all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;

brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --

for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly -- with a stewardship I have been entrusted!

Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

(and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,

To testify

testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us,
