¹³ wherefore, I ask `you' not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

²⁴ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

¹ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,

¹² And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

¹³ so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places -- all,

¹⁴ and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold -- fearlessly to speak the word.

⁶ and whether we be in tribulation, `it is' for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, `it is' for your comfort and salvation;

³⁰ Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

⁴ for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand, that we are about to suffer tribulation, as also it did come to pass, and ye have known `it';

⁹ and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

¹⁶ In that day it is said to Jerusalem, `Fear not, O Zion, let not thy hands be feeble.

³ and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,
