They will pray for you with deep affection because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.
And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth so that when you die, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established,
as you join in helping us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on your behalf for the favor granted to us through the prayers of many.
Now we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia.
By their approval of this ministry, the saints in Jerusalem will glorify God because of your submission to the gospel of Christ that you confess, and also because of your generous contribution to them and to all.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
For God is my witness that I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
For he has been longing for you all and was distressed because you heard that he was sick.
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved friends.
and the grace of our Lord abounded to me greatly with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
