For the service of this office is not only filling up the wants of the saints, but also abounding through many thanks to God;
And ye serving together for us in prayer, that of many faces, the favor to us by many thanks be returned by us.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so by Christ abounds also our comfort.
Praying us with much entreaty that we receive the grace and participation of the service for saints.
For truly, concerning the service to the holy ones, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
And I thought necessary Epaphroditus, my brother, and cooperator, and fellow soldier, and your sent, and workman of my necessity, be sent to you.
And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?
