For this cause take vnto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the euill day, and hauing finished all things, stand fast.

And pray alwayes wt all maner prayer and supplication in the Spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseuerance & supplication for al Saints,

And for me, that vtterance may be giuen vnto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to publish the secret of the Gospel,

Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye might knowe mine affaires, and that he might comfort your hearts.

(Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)

For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.

But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.

For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,

As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.

For Christ is to me both in life, & in death aduantage.

And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.

For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.

Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you.

And this am I sure of, that I shal abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith,

That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in Iesvs Christ for me, by my comming to you againe.

For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,

For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure.

For the same cause also be ye glad, and reioyce with me.

For I haue no man like minded, who will faithfully care for your matters.

For all seeke their owne, and not that which is Iesus Christes.
