50:001:008 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the
bowels of Jesus Christ.
50:001:009 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more
in knowledge and in all judgment;
50:001:010 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be
sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
50:001:011 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by
Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
50:001:012 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
50:001:013 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and
in all other places;
50:001:014 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my
bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
50:001:015 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some
also of good will:
50:001:016 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing
to add affliction to my bonds:
50:001:017 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence
of the gospel.
