Even though I’m away from you in body, I’m with you in spirit, and I am glad to see that you’re well-disciplined and that your faith in Christ is so strong.
I’ve told you these things many times before, and I’m telling you them again with tears in my eyes. Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ.
I tell you, it will be the same in heaven. There will be more celebration for one sinner who turns away from sin than for 99 godly people who don’t have sins they need to turn away from.
