For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;

For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, on the day of our Lord Jesus.

As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
