for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day till now:

But I wish you to know, brethren, that the things which have befallen me have turned out rather to the advancement of the gospel;

These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel;

for I know that this will result in my benefit through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

since you have the same conflict that you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven, and those who are on earth, and those who are under the earth;

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length your care for me has revived again; in this, indeed, you had me in mind, but you lacked opportunity.

I know what it is to be in want, and what it is to have abundance. Everywhere and in all things, I have been fully instructed in being full and in being hungry, in having abundance and in being in want.

Now to God, even our Father, be glory from age to age. Amen.
