“For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.”
“For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting. ”
“For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.”
But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.
Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.
Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.
For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.
For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.
Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Give one another a holy kiss.
