Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good-news, you all being partners with me of the grace.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment

What then? Except in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice, but also I will rejoice.

For I know that this will turn out to me for salvation (through your entreaty, and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)

But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not.

And having been convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and will continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.

And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.

Indeed have this way to think in you, that also was in Christ Jesus,

Indeed therefore I hope to send this man immediately, whenever I may focus on the things concerning me.

As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you.

So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in Lord this way beloved.
