For I know that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and the supplie of the spirit of Iesus Christ,

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.

Wherefore, my beloued, as yee haue alwayes obeyed, not as in my presence onely, but now much more in my absence; worke out your owne saluation with feare, and trembling.

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