But having suffered before and been mistreated in Philippi, as ye know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the good-news of God within much conflict.

Thus being desirous of you, we were pleased to impart to you, not only the good-news of God, but also our own souls, because ye have become beloved to us.

But we, brothers, who were orphaned from you for the time of an hour, in presence not in heart, hastened more earnestly to see your face, with much desire.

For also when we were with you we foretold you that we were going to be oppressed, just as it also happened, and ye know.

because of this, brothers, we were encouraged toward you in all our affliction and necessity through your faith.
