Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.

But that does not mean we want to dominate you by telling you how to put your faith into practice. We want to work together with you so you will be full of joy, for it is by your own faith that you stand firm.

I do not mean that we lord it over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in your faith.

Not that we domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.

Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.

We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

Don’t act as if you were a ruler over those under your care. Instead, be examples to the flock.

Brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the good news I preached to you. You received it and have put your faith in it.

That’s true. But they were broken off because they didn’t believe. You stand only because you do believe. So don’t be proud, but tremble.

“ But you shouldn’t be called‘ Rabbi.’ You have only one Teacher, and you are all brothers.Do not call anyone on earth‘ father.’ You have one Father, and he is in heaven.You shouldn’t be called‘ teacher.’ You have one Teacher, and he is the Messiah.

After all, what is Apollos? And what is Paul? We are only people who serve. We helped you to believe. The Lord has given each of us our own work to do.

Suppose he begins to beat the other slaves. And suppose he eats and drinks with those who drink too much.

Anyone who serves the Lord must not be hard to get along with. Instead, they must be kind to everyone. They must be able to teach. The one who serves must not hold anything against anyone.They must gently teach those who are against them. Maybe God will give a change of heart to those who are against you. That will lead them to know the truth.Maybe they will come to their senses. Maybe they will escape the devil’s trap. He has taken them as prisoners to do what he wanted.

Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory.

I want us to encourage one another in the faith we share.

I’m sure of this. So I know I will remain with you. And I will continue with all of you to help you grow in your faith. I will also continue to help you be joyful in what you have been taught.I’m sure I will be with you again. Then you will be able to boast in Christ Jesus even more because of me.

So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.If I make you sad, who is going to make me glad? Only you, the people I made sad.What I wrote to you I wrote for a special reason. When I came, I didn’t want to be troubled by those who should make me glad. I was sure that all of you would share my joy.

The message we preach is not about ourselves. Our message is about Jesus Christ. We say that he is Lord. And we say that we serve you because of Jesus.

Be watchful and control yourselves. Your enemy the devil is like a roaring lion. He prowls around looking for someone to swallow up.Stand up to him. Remain strong in what you believe. You know that you are not alone in your suffering. The family of believers throughout the world is going through the same thing.

So remain strong in the faith. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest.Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace.Also, pick up the shield of faith. With it you can put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

We live by believing, not by seeing.
