And in the same way do you be glad and have a part in my joy.
For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.
And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:
But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.
For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.
Be glad in the Lord at all times: again I say, Be glad.
