Therefore openly before the churches, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

Besides such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

For in what respect were you inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.
