so that you may be blameless and innocent, God's children without any faults among a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world

Yet even if I am being poured out like an offering as part of the sacrifice and service I offer for your faith, I rejoice, and I share my joy with all of you.

I do not have anyone else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

But you know his proven worth how like a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

I want to know the Messiah what his resurrection power is like and what it means to share in his sufferings by becoming like him in his death,

He will change our unassuming bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.
