And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
