convinced of this same [thing], that the one who began a good work in you will finish [it] until the day of Christ Jesus,

Some even because of envy and strife preach Christ, but some also because of good will.

{What is the result?} Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. But also I will rejoice,

for I know that this will turn out to me for deliverance through your prayer and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will be put to shame in nothing, but with all boldness, even now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether through life or through death.

But if [it is] to live in the flesh, this [is] fruitful work for me, and which I will prefer [I do] not know.

And because I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

For the one at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure, is God.

For I have no one like-minded who [will] sincerely be concerned about {your circumstances}.

And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.

Therefore as many as [are] perfect, {let us hold this opinion}, and if you think anything differently, God will reveal this also to you.

who will transform our humble body [to be] conformed to his glorious body, in accordance with the power that enables him even to subject all [things] to himself.

And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And [the things] which you have learned and received and heard about and seen in me, practice these [things], and the God of peace will be with you.

And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
