having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,

What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

but if to live in flesh is my lot, this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.

and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;

For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;

As many therefore as are perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.
