The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel.

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that -- whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent -- I should hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,

since you are encountering the same conflict that you saw me face and now hear that I am facing.

For there is no one here like him who will readily demonstrate his deep concern for you.

Give greetings to all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me here send greetings.
