The outcome of all this, I know, will be my release, as you continue to pray for me, and as I am provided with the Spirit of Jesus Christ ??20 my eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage. Whether that means life or death, no matter!

Never be scared for a second by your opponents; your fearlessness is a clear omen of ruin for them and of your own salvation ??at the hands of God.

never acting for private ends or from vanity, but humbly considering each other the better man,

Never be anxious, but always make your requests known to God in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving;

It was a great joy to me in the Lord that your care for me could revive again; for what you lacked was never the care but the chance of showing it.
