I am very happy that I can trust you fully.
You think you are a guide for the blind and a light for those who are in darkness.
I wrote you a letter for this reason: that when I came to you I would not be made sad by the people who should make me happy. I felt sure of all of you, that you would share my joy.
The Lord makes us feel sure that you are doing and will continue to do the things we told you.
I write this letter, knowing that you will do what I ask you and even more.
So, in Christ, I could be bold and order you to do what is right.
