It is but just that I should be thus mindful of you all, because I have you in my heart, and because in these fetters of mine and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel you are all my fellow partners in the privilege.

Throughout the whole Praetorian guard and among all the others it has become plain that these chains of mine are for the sake of Christ;

These latter out of their love, because they know that I am set here for the defense of the gospel;

For I know that these things will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Beware of "these dogs," these mischievous workers, beware of the concision!

yes, and I beg you also, my true yokefellow, to help them; for these women shared my toil in the furtherance of the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these.
