For this cause, ever since we heard of it, we incessantly pray for you, requesting that you may be endued with respect to the knowledge of his will, with all wisdom and spiritual discernment:

but he that does wrong shall be punish'd for his injustice: for no regard will be shown to the external characters of men.

As to what relates to me, you will be inform'd of it by Tychicus my dear brother, who is a faithful minister of the Lord, and serves him with me.

I have sent him with Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother, who is of your city: they will inform you of what passes here.

the whole will of God. for I can witness for him, that he is ardently concern'd for you, and the christians of Laodicea,
