25
I am sure of this, and so I know that I will stay. I will stay on with you all, to add to your progress and joy in the faith,
26

Now, the important thing is that your way of life should be as the gospel of Christ requires, so that, whether or not I am able to go and see you, I will hear that you are standing firm with one common purpose and that with only one desire you are fighting together for the faith of the gospel.
