Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

What then? only that, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

For I have no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state.

Him therefore I hope to send presently, as soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
