being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ-- to the glory and praise of God.

Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.

but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.

not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ--the righteousness which comes from God through faith.
