who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,

Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,

Great is my confidence in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.

that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

All the saints greet you.
