“I tell you, use the things you have here in this world to make friends \{with God\}. Then, when those things are gone, you will be welcomed in that home that continues forever.
This service you do is a proof \{of your faith\}. People will praise God because of this. They will praise God because you follow the gospel {\cf2\super [27]} of Christ—the gospel you say you believe. People will praise God because you freely share with them and with all people.
My dear brothers and sisters, I love you and want to see you. You bring me joy and make me proud of you. Continue following the Lord like I have told you.
