15. that ye may be blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,
16. holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labour in vain.
17. Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:
18. and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
19. But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20. For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.
21. For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
