so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;

and that the great part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit,

Since he hath been longing to see, you all, and hath been in great distress, because ye had heard he was sick; -

So welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,

be upon your guard against snarlers, against the contrivances of the crafty, against the spurious breed;

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)

But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

All the saints greet you, and especially those of Caesar's household.
