because to you has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on behalf of him,

Therefore also God exalted him and graciously granted him the name above every name,

Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see {my circumstances}.

For indeed he was sick, coming near to death, but God had mercy on him and not [on] him only, but also [on] me, so that I would not have grief upon grief.

Therefore I am sending him with special urgency, in order that [when] you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

Therefore welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and consider such [people] highly honored,

and may be found in him, not having my righteousness [which is] from the law, but [which is] through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith,

so that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

who will transform our humble body [to be] conformed to his glorious body, in accordance with the power that enables him even to subject all [things] to himself.
