¹⁸ In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

² Count it all joy, my brothers{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, when you fall into various temptations,

³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

⁴ Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

¹ Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice!

¹³ Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
