13. It is written in the Scriptures, “I believed, so I spoke.” Our faith is like this, too. We believe, and so we speak.
14. God raised the Lord Jesus from death. And we know that God will also raise us with Jesus. God will bring us together with you, and we will stand before him.
15. All these things are for you. And so the grace of God is being given to more and more people. This will bring more and more thanks to God for his glory.
16. So we do not give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day.
