always in my every prayer on your behalf making my prayer with joy
And continually night and day in the hills, and in the tombs, he was crying and cutting himself with stones.
I say to you, So there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
I say to you that so is joy in Heaven over one sinner repenting, than over ninety nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, how without ceasing I make mention of you
fulfill my joy, that you think the same, having the same love, one in soul, being mindful of the one thing,
For many walk as hostile to the cross of Christ, of whom I often told you, and now even weeping I say it,
So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, beloved ones.
For though I am indeed absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order and the firmness of your faith into Christ.
We give thanks to God always concerning you all, making mention of you on our prayers,
For we have much joy and encouragement over your love, in that the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
