6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you, will performe it vntil the day of Iesus Christ: 7Euen as it is meete for mee to thinke this of you all, because I haue you in my heart, in as much as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. 8For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christ. 9And this I pray, that your loue may abound yet more & more in knowledge, and in all iudgment. 10That ye may approue things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere, and without offence till the day of Christ.
