I thank my God upon every remembrance of you??4 always, in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all, making supplication with joy??5 on account of your fellowship for the Gospel, from the first day until now;

Now I wish you to know, brethren, that the things relating to me have resulted rather in the furtherance of the Gospel;

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

having 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 are walking, of whom I often told you, 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 revived your thought in my behalf, for whom ye were taking thought, but ye lacked opportunity.

Now to our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
