as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.

But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,

These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;

Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.

yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
