And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

But if I am even poured out on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith;
