Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;

The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;

not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
