Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

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