And fully believing this, I know that I shall continue, and continue with you all, for your advancement and joy of the faith,

Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthily of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

But if I am even poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate you all;

and be found in him, not having my righteousness by the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by the faith,
