And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;

not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

not that in respect of want I say it, for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;
