15So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
16Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.
17And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:
18And in the same way do you be glad and have a part in my joy.
19But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.
20For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.
21For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.
