you

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christ.

Neuertheles, to abide in the flesh, is more needfull for you.

And hauing this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and ioy of faith,

That your reioycing may bee more abundant in Iesus Christ for me, by my comming to you againe.

Onely let your conuersation bee as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may heare of your affaires, that yee stand fast in one spirit, with one minde, striuing together for the faith of the Gospel,

And in nothing terrified by your aduersaries, which is to them an euident token of perdition: but to you of saluation, and that of God.

For vnto you it is giuen in the behalfe of Christ, not onely to beleeue on him, but also to suffer for his sake,

Let this minde bee in you, which was also in Christ Iesus:

For it is God which worketh in you, both to will, and to doe, of his good pleasure.

Yea, and if I bee offered vpon the sacrifice and seruice of your faith, I ioy, and reioyce with you all.
