I, Paul, am a prisoner because of Christ Jesus. I am in prison because of my work among you who are Gentiles.

Brothers and sisters, here is what I want you to know. What has happened to me has actually helped to spread the good news.One thing has become clear. I am being held by chains because I am a witness for Christ. All the palace guards and everyone else know it.And because I am a prisoner, most of the believers have become bolder in the Lord. They now dare even more to preach the good news without fear.

I am happy because of what I am suffering for you. My suffering joins with and continues the sufferings of Christ. I suffer for his body, which is the church.

If we are having trouble, it is so that you will be comforted and renewed. If we are comforted, it is so that you will be comforted. Then you will be able to put up with the same suffering we have gone through.

Even young people become worn out and get tired. Even the best of them trip and fall.But those who trust in the Lord will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.

He’ll say,“ Men of Israel, listen to me. Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Don’t be scared. Don’t be afraid. Don’t panic or be terrified by them.

We sent our brother Timothy to give you strength and hope in your faith. He works together with us in God’s service to spread the good news about Christ.We sent him so that no one would be upset by times of testing. You know very well that we have to go through times of testing.In fact, when we were with you, here is what we kept telling you. We were telling you that our enemies would make us suffer. As you know very well, it has turned out that way.

The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem,“ Zion, don’t be afraid. Don’t give up.

Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up.

There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain faithful to what they had been taught.“ We must go through many hard times to enter God’s kingdom,” they said.

Brothers and sisters, don’t ever get tired of doing what is good.

He made it through these attacks by sinners. So think about him. Then you won’t get tired. You won’t lose hope.You struggle against sin. But you have not yet fought to the point of spilling your blood.Have you completely forgotten this word of hope? It speaks to you as a father to his children. It says,“ My son, think of the Lord’s training as important. Do not lose hope when he corrects you.
