Only conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;

experiencing the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.

For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

Him therefore I hope to send immediately as soon as I see clearly what will become of me.

Whatsoever things also ye have learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these practise, and the God of peace shall be with you.

Not that I am anxious for a gift; but I am anxious to see fruit abounding on your account.
