because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has actually resulted in the advance of the gospel,

My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all boldness, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose.

having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have.

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I also may be encouraged when I hear news about you.

For I have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that once again you renewed your care for me. You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it.

Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
