I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)

And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds,

He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.

But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.

(Look! I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.)
