as you hold firmly to the word of life. Then I will be proud when the Messiah returns that I did not run in vain or work hard in vain.

For he has been longing for all of you and is troubled because you heard that he was sick.

Yes, I also ask you, my true partner, to help these women. They have worked hard with me to advance the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

Likewise, keep practicing these things: what you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.
