and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'
who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,
confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,
`And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;
and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
and I have known that coming unto you -- in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.
through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.
not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.
and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,
