Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,

so that you may discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ;

For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in trickery nor distorting the word of God, but by the open proclamation of the truth commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in the sight of God.

I too could speak like you, If only I were in your place. I could compose words against you And shake my head at you.

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

“ For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend; So that he does not abandon the fear of the Almighty.

For we are not like the many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.
