1. My friends, God has made us these promises. So we should stay away from everything that keeps our bodies and spirits from being clean. We should honour God and try to be completely like him.
2. Make a place for us in your hearts! We haven't ill-treated or hurt anyone. We haven't cheated anyone.
3. I am not saying this to be hard on you. But, as I have said before, you will always be in our thoughts, whether we live or die.
4. I trust you completely. I am always proud of you, and I am greatly encouraged. In all my trouble I am still very happy.
5. After we came to Macedonia, we didn't have any chance to rest. We were faced with all kinds of problems. We were troubled by enemies and troubled by fears.
