Because G3754 for the work G2041 of Christ G5547 he was near G1448 to death, G2288 not regarding G3851 his life, G5590 to supply G378 your G5216 lack G5303 of service G3009 toward G4314 me.

According G2596 to my earnest G603 expectation G603 and my hope, G1680 that in nothing G3762 I shall be ashamed, G153 but that with all G3956 boldness, G3954 as always, G3842 so now G3568 also G2532 Christ G5547 shall be magnified G3170 in my body, G4983 whether G1535 it be by life, G2222 or G1535 by death. G2288

But none G3762 of these things G3056 move G3056 G4160 me, neither G3761 count G2192 I my life G5590 dear G5093 to myself, G1683 so G5613 that I might finish G5048 my course G1408 with joy, G5479 and the ministry, G1248 which G3739 I have G2192 received G2983 of the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 to testify G1263 the gospel G2098 of the grace G5485 of God. G2316

Then G1161 Paul G3972 answered, G611 What G5101 mean G4160 you to weep G2799 and to break G4919 my G3450 heart? G2588 for I am ready G2093 not to be bound G1210 only, G3440 but also G2532 to die G599 at G1519 Jerusalem G2419 for the name G3686 of the Lord G2962 Jesus. G2424

And I will very G2236 gladly G2236 spend G1159 and be spent G1550 for you; though G1499 the more G4056 abundantly G4056 I love G25 you, the less G2276 I be loved. G25

So G3779 being affectionately G2442 desirous G2442 of you, we were willing G2106 to have imparted G3330 to you, not the gospel G2098 of God G2316 only, G3440 but also G2532 our own G1438 souls, G5590 because G1360 you were dear G27 to us.

For I am now G2236 ready G4689 to be offered, G4689 and the time G2540 of my departure G359 is at G2186 hand. G2186

Hereby G1722 G5129 perceive G1097 we the love G26 of God, because G3754 he laid G5087 down his life G5590 for us: and we ought G3784 to lay G5087 down our lives G5590 for the brothers. G80

But I have G568 all, G3956 and abound: G4052 I am full, G4137 having received G1209 of Epaphroditus G1891 the things which were sent from you, an odor G3744 of a sweet G2175 smell, G2175 a sacrifice G2378 acceptable, G1184 well pleasing G2101 to God. G2316

I beseech G3870 you therefore, G3767 brothers, G80 by the mercies G3628 of God, G2316 that you present G3936 your G5216 bodies G4983 a living G2198 sacrifice, G2378 holy, G40 acceptable G2101 to God, G2316 which is your G5216 reasonable G3050 service. G2999

That I should be the minister G3011 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to the Gentiles, G1484 ministering G2418 the gospel G2098 of God, G2316 that the offering G4376 up of the Gentiles G1484 might be acceptable, G2144 being sanctified G37 by the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

By him therefore G3767 let us offer G399 the sacrifice G2378 of praise G133 to God G2316 continually, G1275 that is, the fruit G2590 of our lips G5491 giving thanks G3670 to his name. G3686

But to do G2140 good G2140 and to communicate G2842 forget G1950 not: for with such G5108 sacrifices G2378 God G2316 is well G2100 pleased. G2100

You also, G2532 as lively G2198 stones, G3037 are built G3618 up a spiritual G4152 house, G3624 an holy G40 priesthood, G2406 to offer G399 up spiritual G4152 sacrifices, G2378 acceptable G2144 to God G2316 by Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

Great G4183 is my boldness G3954 of speech toward G4314 you, great G4183 is my glorying G2746 of you: I am filled G4137 with comfort, G3874 I am exceeding G5248 joyful G5479 in all G3956 our tribulation. G2347

Who now G3568 rejoice G5463 in my sufferings G3804 for you, and fill G466 up that which is behind G5303 of the afflictions G2347 of Christ G5547 in my flesh G4561 for his body's G4983 sake, which G3739 is the church: G1577

Therefore, G1223 G5125 brothers, G80 we were comforted G3870 over G1909 you in all G3956 our affliction G2347 and distress G318 by your G5216 faith: G4102

For what G5101 thanks G2169 can G1410 we render G467 to God G2316 again G467 for you, for all G3956 the joy G5479 with which G3739 we joy G5463 for your G5209 sakes before G1715 our God; G2316
