11. while you join in helping us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gift that came to us through the prayers of many.
12. For this is our confidence: The testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with God-given sincerity and purity, not by fleshly wisdom but by God’s grace.
13. Now we are writing nothing to you other than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely —
14. as you have partially understood us — that we are your reason for pride, as you are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
