so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.

we cared for you. We loved you so much. So we were happy to share with you God’s good news. We were also happy to share our lives with you.

So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.

So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us.

Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers and sisters.

I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

Obey your leaders and submit to them— for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account— so that they may do this with joy, not groaning; for this would be unhelpful for you.

My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you—

Epaphras, who is one of your own, a bond servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always striving earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,

Our mouth has spoken freely to you, you Corinthians, our heart is opened wide.You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections.Now in the same way in exchange— I am speaking as to children— open wide your hearts to us, you as well.

And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain—

just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare.

Listen and pay attention, do not be haughty; For the Lord has spoken.Give glory to the Lord your God Before He brings darkness And before your feet stumble On the mountains in the dark, And while you are hoping for light He makes it into gloom, And turns it into thick darkness.But if you do not listen to it, My soul will weep in secret for such pride; And my eyes will shed And stream down tears, Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my countrymen, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ.

But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need,because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

Now a centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.

except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that chains and afflictions await me.But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of God’s grace.
