Always, in every prayer that I offer for you all--my prayers are full of joy--

God will bear me witness how I yearn over you all with the tenderness of Christ Jesus.

Without ever shrinking from your opponents. To them this will be a sign of their Destruction and of your Salvation--a sign from God.

It is Timothy, then, whom I hope to send, as soon as ever I can foresee how it will go with me.

Then the Peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.

To him, our God and Father, be ascribed all glory for every and ever. Amen.
