So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;

Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.
