16. holding fast to the word of life, for a source of pride to me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
17. But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and rejoice with all of you.
18. And in the same way also you rejoice and rejoice with me.
19. But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged when I know your circumstances.
