and always whenever I pray for you all I do it with joy,

But the others are preaching the Christ not sincerely but for their own ends, imagining that they are making my imprisonment harder to bear.

But if living on here means having my labor bear fruit, I cannot tell which to choose.

I want to know him in the power of resurrection, and to share his sufferings and even his death,

He will make our poor bodies over to resemble his glorious body, by exerting the power he has to subject everything to himself.

Now, brothers, let your minds dwell on what is true, what is worthy, what is right, what is pure, what is amiable, what is kindly??n everything that is excellent or praiseworthy.
