4. I remember you in my prayers. And I always thank my God for you.
5. I hear about the love you have for all God’s holy people and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus.
6. I pray that the faith you share will make you understand every blessing that we have in Christ.
7. My brother, you have shown love to God’s people. You have made them feel happy. This has given me great joy and comfort.
8. There is something that you should do. And because of your love in Christ, I feel free to order you to do it.
9. But because I love you, I am asking you instead. I, Paul, am an old man now, and a prisoner for Christ Jesus.
