“ In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear of you. They will come from distant lands because of your name,for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. And when they pray toward this Temple,then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you. In this way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you, just as your own people Israel do. They, too, will know that this Temple I have built honors your name.

And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.

Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.

So we have urged Titus, who encouraged your giving in the first place, to return to you and encourage you to finish this ministry of giving.

Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world.

I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.

Abraham approached him and said,“ Will you sweep away both the righteous and the wicked?Suppose you find fifty righteous people living there in the city— will you still sweep it away and not spare it for their sakes?Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”And the Lord replied,“ If I find fifty righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the entire city for their sake.”Then Abraham spoke again.“ Since I have begun, let me speak further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes.Suppose there are only forty five righteous people rather than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And the Lord said,“ I will not destroy it if I find forty five righteous people there.”Then Abraham pressed his request further.“ Suppose there are only forty?” And the Lord replied,“ I will not destroy it for the sake of the forty.”“ Please don’t be angry, my Lord,” Abraham pleaded.“ Let me speak— suppose only thirty righteous people are found?” And the Lord replied,“ I will not destroy it if I find thirty.”Then Abraham said,“ Since I have dared to speak to the Lord, let me continue— suppose there are only twenty?” And the Lord replied,“ Then I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”Finally, Abraham said,“ Lord, please don’t be angry with me if I speak one more time. Suppose only ten are found there?” And the Lord replied,“ Then I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

Praise his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen!

So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored.
