and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

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,
