By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith in all nations for his name, Among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ:

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ, for you all, that your faith is spoken of through the whole world.

that ye may be established, That is, to be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.
