we cared for you. We loved you so much. So we were happy to share with you God’s good news. We were also happy to share our lives with you.

So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.

We cared so much for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us.

Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less?

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker—

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.As a fair exchange— I speak as to my children— open wide your hearts also.

As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.

I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.

Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.Give glory to the Lord your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to utter darkness and change it to deep gloom.If you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the Lord’s flock will be taken captive.

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

I speak the truth in Christ— I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit—I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!

He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.

But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co- worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.

I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me— the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
