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.
22But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.
