on account of your fellowship in the cause of the gospel from the first day until now;

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

as ye have the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.

So then, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ;

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived again in your care for my welfare; for which indeed ye cared before, but lacked opportunity.

Now to God, our Father, be glory for ever. Amen.
