15that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
16holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn`t run in vain nor labor in vain.
17Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.
18In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
19But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
20For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
21For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
