Af ter  we  tore our selves  away  from

 was  to un load  its car go  there. 4  We  sought  out 
 the dis ci ples  and  stayed  there sev en  days. Through  the Spir it  they  told  Paul  not  to  go  to 
Je ru sa lem. 5  When  our  time  had  come  to  an

10  When  the dis pute be came vi o lent,  the com-

 by  them  and or dered  the  troops  to  go  down, 
 take  him  away  from  them,  and  bring  him  into 
 the bar racks. 11  The fol low ing  night,  the  Lord 
 stood  by  him  and  said, “ Have cour age! For 
 as  you  have tes ti fied  about  me  in Je ru sa lem, 
 so  it  is nec es sary  for  you  to tes ti fy  in  Rome.”
THE PLOT AGAINST PAUL
12  When  it  was morn ing,  the  Jews  formed  a 
con spir a cy  and  bound them selves un der  a 
 curse  not  to  eat  or  drink un til  they  had  killed 
 Paul. 13  There  were  more  than for ty  who  had 
 formed  this  plot. 14  These  men  went  to  the 
 chief  priests  and el ders  and  said, “ We  have 
 bound our selves un der  a sol emn  curse  that 
 we  won’t  eat any thing un til  we  have  killed 
 Paul. 15  So  now  you,  along  with  the San he drin, 
 make  a re quest  to  the com mand er  that  he 
 bring  him  down  to  you b  as  if  you  were go ing 
 to in ves ti gate  his  case  more thor ough ly . But, 
be fore  he  gets  near,  we  are  ready  to  kill  him.”
16  But  the  son  of  Paul’s sis ter, hear ing  about 
 their am bush,  came  and en tered  the bar racks 
 and re port ed  it  to  Paul. 17  Paul  called  one  of  the 
cen tu ri ons  and  said, “ Take  this  young  man  to 
 the com mand er, be cause  he  has some thing 
 to re port  to  him.”
18  So  he  took  him,  brought  him  to  the com-
mand er,  and  said, “ The pris on er  Paul  called 
 me  and  asked  me  to  bring  this  young  man  to 
 you, be cause  he  has some thing  to  tell  you.”
19  The com mand er  took  him  by  the  hand, 
 led  him  aside,  and in quired pri vate ly , “ What 
 is  it  you  have  to re port  to  me? ”
20 “ The  Jews,”  he  said, “ have  agreed  to  ask 
 you  to  bring  Paul  down  to  the San he drin to-
mor row ,  as  though  they  are go ing  to  hold  a 
some what  more care ful in qui ry  about  him. 21  Don’t  let  them per suade  you, be cause  there 
 are  more  than for ty  of  them ly ing  in am bush  
—   men  who  have  bound them selves un der 
 a  curse  not  to  eat  or  drink un til  they  have 
 killed  him. Now  they  are  ready , wait ing  for 
 your con sent.”
22  So  the com mand er dis missed  the  young 
 man  and in struct ed  him, “ Don’t  tell any one 
 that  you  have in formed  me  about  this.”
TO CAESAREA BY NIGHT
23  He sum moned  two  of  his cen tu ri ons  and 
 said, “ Get  two hun dred sol diers  ready  with

THE VERDICT POSTPONED
22  Since Fe lix  was  well in formed  about  the  Way , 
 he ad journed  the hear ing, say ing, “ When Lys-
i as  the com mand er  comes  down,  I  will de cide 
 your  case.” 23  He or dered  that  the cen tu ri on 
 keep  Paul un der  guard,  though  he  could  have 
 some free dom,  and  that  he  should  not pre vent 
 any  of  his  friends  from meet ing c  his  needs. 24 Sev er al  days lat er,  when Fe lix  came  with 
 his  wife Dru sil la,  who  was Jew ish,  he  sent  for 
 Paul  and lis tened  to  him  on  the sub ject  of  faith 
 in  Christ  Jesus. 25  Now  as  he  spoke  about righ-
teous ness, self-control,  and  the judg ment  to 
 come, Fe lix be came  afraid  and re plied, “ Leave 
 for  now ,  but  when  I  have  an op por tu ni ty  I’ll  call

 that  Paul  would off  er  him mon ey . d  So  he  sent

suc ceed ed Fe lix,  and be cause Fe lix want ed 
 to  do  the  Jews  a fa vor,  he  left  Paul  in pris on. APPEAL TO CAESAR
25 
 Three  days af ter Fes tus ar rived  in  the 
prov ince,  he  went  up  to Je ru sa lem  from 
Caes a rea. 2  The  chief  priests  and  the lead ers 
 of  the  Jews pre sent ed  their  case  against  Paul 
 to  him;  and  they ap pealed, 3 ask ing  for  a fa-
vor  against  Paul,  that Fes tus sum mon  him  to 
Je ru sa lem. They  were,  in  fact, pre par ing  an 
am bush  along  the  road  to  kill  him. 4 Fes tus, 
how ev er, an swered  that  Paul  should  be  kept  at 
Caes a rea,  and  that  he him self  was  about  to  go 
 there short ly . 5 “There fore,”  he  said, “ let  those  of 
 you  who  have au thor i ty  go  down  with  me  and 
ac cuse  him,  if  he  has  done any thing  wrong.”
6  When  he  had  spent  not  more  than  eight  or 
 ten  days  among  them,  he  went  down  to Caes-
a rea. The  next  day , seat ed  at  the tribunal,  he 
com mand ed  Paul  to  be  brought  in. 7  When  he 
ar rived,  the  Jews  who  had  come  down  from 
Je ru sa lem  stood  around  him  and  brought  many 
se ri ous charg es  that  they  were  not  able  to 
 prove. 8  Then  Paul  made  his de fense: “Nei ther 
 against  the Jew ish  law ,  nor  against  the tem ple, 
 nor  against Cae sar  have  I  sinned  in  any  way .”
9  But Fes tus, want ing  to  do  the  Jews  a fa-
vor, re plied  to  Paul, “ Are  you will ing  to  go  up 
 to Je ru sa lem  to  be  tried be fore  me  there  on 
 these charg es? ”
10  Paul re plied: “ I  am stand ing  at Cae sar’s 
tribunal,  where  I  ought  to  be  tried. I  have  done 
 no  wrong  to  the  Jews,  as  even  you your self 
 know  very  well. 11  If  then  I  did any thing  wrong

9  By  now  much  time  had  passed,  and  the voy-
age  was al ready dan ger ous. Since  the  Day  of 
Atone ment f  was al ready  over,  Paul  gave  his 
ad vice 10  and  told  them, “ Men,  I  can  see  that 
 this voy age  is head ed to ward di sas ter  and 
 heavy  loss,  not  only  of  the car go  and  the  ship 
 but  also  of  our  lives.” 11  But  the cen tu ri on  paid 
at ten tion  to  the cap tain  and  the own er  of  the 
 ship rath er  than  to  what  Paul  said. 12  Since 
 the har bor  was un suit able  to win ter  in,  the

 and  to win ter  there. STORM-TOSSED SHIP

 that  if  it  is some how  in  God’s  will,  I  may  now

 to  you  some spir i tu al  gift  to strength en  you, 
12  that  is,  to  be mu tu al ly en cour aged  by  each

 it  is  the pow er  of  God  for sal va tion  to ev ery one

press  the  truth, 19  since  what  can  be  known m

 the  judge,  do  the  same  things. 2  We  know  that

15  But  the  gift  is  not  like  the tres pass. For 
 if  by  the  one  man’s tres pass  the  many  died, 
 how  much  more  have  the  grace  of  God  and 
 the  gift  which  comes  through  the  grace  of 
 the  one  man  Jesus  Christ over flowed  to  the 
 many . 16  And  the  gift  is  not  like  the  one  man’s 
 sin, be cause  from  one  sin  came  the judg ment, 
resulting  in con dem na tion,  but  from  many 
tres pass es  came  the  gift, resulting  in jus ti-

 death  reigned  through  that  one  man,  how 
 much  more  will  those  who re ceive  the over-
flow  of  grace  and  the  gift  of righ teous ness 
 reign  in  life  through  the  one  man,  Jesus  Christ. 18  So  then,  as  through  one tres pass  there  is 
con dem na tion  for ev ery one,  so  also  through 
 one righ teous  act  there  is jus ti fi ca tion lead ing

 the  many  will  be  made righ teous. 20  The  law

 do  not un der stand  what  I  am do ing, be cause 
 I  do  not prac tice  what  I  want  to  do,  but  I  do 
 what  I  hate. 16  Now  if  I  do  what  I  do  not  want 
 to  do,  I  agree  with  the  law  that  it  is  good. 17  So 
 now  I  am  no lon ger  the  one do ing  it,  but  it  is 
 sin liv ing  in  me. 18  For  I  know  that noth ing 
 good  lives  in  me,  that  is,  in  my  flesh. For  the 
de sire  to  do  what  is  good  is  with  me,  but  there 
 is  no abil i ty  to  do  it. 19  For  I  do  not  do  the  good 
 that  I  want  to  do,  but  I prac tice  the  evil  that  I 
 do  not  want  to  do. 20  Now  if  I  do  what  I  do  not 
 want,  I  am  no lon ger  the  one  that  does  it,  but 
 it  is  the  sin  that  lives  in  me. 21  So  I dis cov er  this

 did  not  know  God  through wis dom,  God  was 
 pleased  to  save  those  who be lieve  through 
 the fool ish ness  of  what  is  preached. 22  For 
 the  Jews  ask  for  signs  and  the  Greeks  seek

26 Broth ers  and sis ters, con sid er  your call ing: 
 Not  many  were  wise  from  a hu man perspec-
tive, f  not  many pow er ful,  not  many  of no ble

 in  the  world  to  shame  the  wise,  and  God  has 
cho sen  what  is  weak  in  the  world  to  shame  the 
 strong. 28  God  has cho sen  what  is insignificant 
 and de spised  in  the  world  —   what  is  viewed  as 
noth ing  —   to  bring  to noth ing  what  is  viewed 
 as some thing, 29  so  that  no  one g  may  boast  in

 that  your  faith  might  not  be  based  on hu man

6  We  do, how ev er,  speak  a wis dom  among  the

rul ers  of  this  age,  who  are com ing  to noth ing. 7  On  the con trary ,  we  speak  God’s hid den wis-
dom  in  a mys tery ,  a wis dom  God pre des tined 
be fore  the  ages  for  our glo ry . 8  None  of  the 
rul ers  of  this  age  knew  this wis dom, be cause 
 if  they  had  known  it,  they  would  not  have cru-
ci fied  the  Lord  of glo ry . 9  But  as  it  is writ ten,
  What no eye has seen, no ear 
has heard,
  and no human heart 
has conceived —
  God has prepared these things 
for those who love him. b
10  Now  God  has re vealed  these  things  to  us  by 
 the Spir it,  since  the Spir it search es ev ery thing, 
 even  the  depths  of  God. 11  For  who  knows  a per-
son’s  thoughts c ex cept  his spir it with in  him? In  the  same  way ,  no  one  knows  the  thoughts  of 
 God ex cept  the Spir it  of  God. 12  Now  we  have 
 not re ceived  the spir it  of  the  world,  but  the 
Spir it  who  comes  from  God,  so  that  we  may 
un der stand  what  has  been free ly giv en  to  us 
 by  God. 13  We  also  speak  these  things,  not  in 
 words  taught  by hu man wis dom,  but  in  those 
 taught  by  the Spir it, ex plain ing spir i tu al  things 
 to spir i tu al peo ple. d 14  But  the per son with-
out  the Spir it e  does  not re ceive  what  comes 
 from  God’s Spir it, be cause  it  is fool ish ness  to 
 him;  he  is  not  able  to un der stand  it  since  it  is 
evaluated f spir i tu al ly . 15  The spir i tu al per son, 
how ev er,  can eval u ate g ev ery thing,  and  yet  he 
him self can not  be evaluated  by any one. 16  For
  who has known the Lord’s mind,

 we  have  not  made  use  of  this  right; in stead,  we 
en dure ev ery thing  so  that  we  will  not hin der

 the tem ple ser vices  eat  the  food  from  the tem-

 way ,  the  Lord  has com mand ed  that  those  who 
 preach  the gos pel  should  earn  their liv ing  by 
 the gos pel. 15  For  my  part  I  have  used  none  of  these 
 rights,  nor  have  I writ ten  these  things  that 
 they  may  be ap plied  in  my  case. For  it  would 
 be bet ter  for  me  to  die  than  for any one  to de-
prive  me  of  my  boast! 16  For  if  I  preach  the 
gos pel,  I  have  no rea son  to  boast, be cause  I 
 am com pelled  to  preach g  —   and  woe  to  me 
 if  I  do  not  preach  the gos pel! 17  For  if  I  do  this 
will ing ly ,  I  have  a re ward,  but  if unwillingly , 
 I  am en trust ed  with  a com mis sion. 18  What 
 then  is  my re ward? To  preach  the gos pel  and 
off  er  it  free  of  charge  and  not  make  full  use 
 of  my  rights  in  the gos pel. 19 Al though  I  am  free  from  all  and  not any-
one’s  slave,  I  have  made my self  a  slave  to ev-
ery one,  in or der  to  win  more peo ple. 20  To  the 
 Jews  I be came  like  a  Jew ,  to  win  Jews;  to  those 
un der  the  law ,  like  one un der  the  law  —   though 
 I my self  am  not un der  the  law h  —   to  win  those 
un der  the  law . 21  To  those  who  are with out  the 
 law ,  like  one with out  the  law  —   though  I  am 
 not with out  God’s  law  but un der  the  law  of 
 Christ  —   to  win  those with out  the  law . 22  To 
 the  weak  I be came  weak,  in or der  to  win  the 
 weak. I  have be come  all  things  to  all peo ple,  so 
 that  I  may  by ev ery pos si ble  means  save  some. 23  Now  I  do  all  this be cause  of  the gos pel,  so 
 that  I  may  share  in  the bless ings. 24  Don’t  you  know  that  the run ners  in  a sta-
dium  all  race,  but  only  one re ceives  the  prize? Run  in  such  a  way  to  win  the  prize. 25  Now ev-

13 
 If  I  speak hu man  or angelic  tongues d 
 but  do  not  have  love,  I  am  a  noisy  gong 
 or  a clang ing cym bal. 2  If  I  have  the  gift  of 
proph e cy  and un der stand  all mys ter ies  and 
 all knowl edge,  and  if  I  have  all  faith  so  that  I 
 can  move moun tains  but  do  not  have  love,  I 
 am noth ing. 3  And  if  I  give  away  all  my pos-
ses sions,  and  if  I  give  over  my  body  in or der 
 to  boast e  but  do  not  have  love,  I  gain noth ing. 4  Love  is pa tient,  love  is  kind. Love  does  not 
 envy ,  is  not boast ful,  is  not ar ro gant, 5  is  not 
 rude,  is  not self-seeking,  is  not irritable,  and 
 does  not  keep  a rec ord  of  wrongs. 6  Love  finds 
 no  joy  in un righ teous ness  but re joic es  in  the 
 truth. 7  It  bears  all  things, be lieves  all  things, 
 hopes  all  things, en dures  all  things. 8  Love nev er  ends. But  as  for proph e cies, 
 they  will  come  to  an  end;  as  for  tongues,  they 
 will  cease;  as  for knowl edge,  it  will  come  to  an 
 end. 9  For  we  know  in  part,  and  we proph e sy 
 in  part, 10  but  when  the per fect  comes,  the 
par tial  will  come  to  an  end. 11  When  I  was  a 
 child,  I  spoke  like  a  child,  I  thought  like  a  child, 
 I rea soned  like  a  child. When  I be came  a  man, 
 I  put  aside child ish  things. 12  For  now  we  see

20  But  as  it  is,  Christ  has  been  raised  from  the 
 dead,  the first fruits  of  those  who  have fall-
en  asleep. 21  For  since  death  came  through  a 
 man,  the res ur rec tion  of  the  dead  also  comes 
 through  a  man. 22  For  just  as  in  Adam  all  die, 
 so  also  in  Christ  all  will  be  made  alive. 23  But  each  in  his  own or der:  Christ,  the first-
fruits; af ter ward,  at  his com ing,  those  who 
be long  to  Christ. 24  Then  comes  the  end,  when 
 he  hands  over  the king dom  to  God  the Fa ther, 
 when  he abolishes  all  rule  and  all au thor i ty 
 and pow er. 25  For  he  must  reign un til  he  puts 
 all  his en e mies un der  his  feet. 26  The  last en-
e my  to  be abol ished  is  death. 27  For  God  has 
 put ev ery thing un der  his  feet. d  Now  when 
 it  says “ev ery thing”  is  put un der  him,  it  is ob-
vi ous  that  he  who  puts ev ery thing un der  him 
 is  the ex cep tion. 28  When ev ery thing  is sub ject

 has rec on ciled  us  to him self  through  Christ 
 and  has giv en  us  the min is try  of rec on cil ia-

 the  world  to him self,  not count ing  their tres-

 the mes sage  of rec on cil ia tion  to  us. 20 There fore,  we  are am bas sa dors  for  Christ, 
 since  God  is mak ing  his ap peal  through  us. We  plead  on  Christ’s be half: “ Be rec on ciled  to 
 God.” 21  He  made  the  one  who  did  not  know 
 sin  to  be  sin f  for  us,  so  that  in  him  we  might

Work ing to geth er  with  him,  we  also ap peal 
 to  you, “ Don’t re ceive  the  grace  of  God  in

I  am  filled  with encouragement;  I  am 
over flow ing  with  joy  in  all  our afflictions. 5  In  fact,  when  we  came  into Mac e do nia, 
 we h  had  no  rest. In stead,  we  were trou bled 
 in ev ery  way: con flicts  on  the out side,  fears 
with in. 6  But  God,  who com forts  the downcast, 
com fort ed  us  by  the ar riv al  of Ti tus, 7  and  not 
 only  by  his ar riv al  but  also  by  the com fort 
 he re ceived  from  you. He  told  us  about  your 
 deep long ing,  your sor row ,  and  your  zeal  for 
 me,  so  that  I re joiced  even  more. 8  For  even 
 if  I  grieved  you  with  my let ter,  I  don’t re gret 
 it. And  if  I regretted  it  —   since  I  saw  that  the 
let ter  grieved  you,  yet  only  for  a  while  —   9  I 
 now re joice,  not be cause  you  were  grieved,

 you  were  grieved  as  God  willed,  so  that  you 
 didn’t ex pe ri ence  any  loss  from  us. 10  For god-

pro duc es  death. 11  For con sid er  how  much dil-

 wills  —   has pro duced  in  you:  what  a de sire  to

 what  deep long ing,  what  zeal,  what jus tice! In 
ev ery  way  you  showed your selves  to  be  pure 
 in  this mat ter. 12  So  even  though  I  wrote  to  you, 
 it  was  not be cause  of  the  one  who  did  wrong, 
 or be cause  of  the  one  who  was  wronged,  but 
 in or der  that  your de vo tion  to  us  might  be

 even  more  over  the  joy Ti tus  had, be cause  his 
spir it  was re freshed  by  all  of  you. 14  For  if  I 
 have  made  any  boast  to  him  about  you,  I  have 
 not  been dis ap point ed;  but  as  I  have spo ken 
ev ery thing  to  you  in  truth,  so  our boast ing  to

to ward  you  when ab sent. 2  I  beg  you  that  when

cer tain peo ple  who  think  we  are behaving 
ac cord ing  to  the  flesh. 3  For al though  we  live 
 in  the  flesh,  we  do  not  wage  war ac cord ing  to 
 the  flesh, 4  since  the weap ons  of  our war fare 
 are  not  of  the  flesh,  but  are pow er ful  through

 I  can  also  boast  a lit tle. 17  What  I  am say ing  in

 Lord  would,  but  as  it  were, fool ish ly . 18  Since 
 many  boast ac cord ing  to  the  flesh,  I  will  also 
 boast. 19  For  you, be ing  so  wise, glad ly  put  up

some one  takes ad van tage  of  you,  if some one 
 is ar ro gant to ward  you,  if some one  slaps  you 
 in  the  face. 21  I  say  this  to  our  shame:  We  have 
 been  too  weak  for  that! But  in what ev er any one  dares  to  boast  —   I

12 
Boast ing  is nec es sary . It  is  not profi  t able, 
 but  I  will  move  on  to vi sions  and rev e la-
tions  of  the  Lord. 2  I  know  a  man  in  Christ  who 
 was  caught  up  to  the  third heav en four teen 
 years  ago. Wheth er  he  was  in  the  body  or  out 
 of  the  body ,  I  don’t  know;  God  knows. 3  I  know 
 that  this  man  —  wheth er  in  the  body  or  out 
 of  the  body  I  don’t  know;  God  knows — 4  was 
 caught  up  into par a dise  and  heard in ex press-
ible  words,  which  a hu man be ing  is  not al lowed 
 to  speak. 5  I  will  boast  about  this per son,  but 
 not  about my self, ex cept  of  my weak ness es. 6  For  if  I  want  to  boast,  I  wouldn’t  be  a  fool, 
be cause  I  would  be tell ing  the  truth. But  I  will 
 spare  you,  so  that  no  one  can cred it  me  with 
some thing be yond  what  he  sees  in  me  or  hears 
 from  me, 7 es pe cial ly be cause  of  the ex tra or-
di nary rev e la tions. There fore,  so  that  I  would 
 not ex alt my self,  a  thorn  in  the  flesh  was giv en 
 to  me,  a mes sen ger  of Sa tan  to tor ment  me  so 
 that  I  would  not ex alt my self. 8 Con cern ing 
 this,  I plead ed  with  the  Lord  three  times  that 
 it  would  leave  me. 9  But  he  said  to  me, “ My 
 grace  is suff  i cient  for  you,  for  my pow er  is 
perfected  in weak ness.”
There fore,  I  will  most glad ly  boast  all  the 
 more  about  my weak ness es,  so  that  Christ’s 
pow er  may re side  in  me. 10  So  I  take plea sure  in 
weak ness es, in sults, hard ships, per se cu tions, 
 and  in diff  i cul ties,  for  the  sake  of  Christ. For 
 when  I  am  weak,  then  I  am  strong. SIGNS OF AN APOSTLE

 you  don’t  do  what  you  want. 18  But  if  you  are 
 led  by  the Spir it,  you  are  not un der  the  law . 19  Now  the  works  of  the  flesh  are ob vi ous: f 
sex u al im mo ral i ty , mor al im pu ri ty , pro mis-

be fore  —   that  those  who prac tice  such  things 
 will  not in her it  the king dom  of  God. 22  But  the  fruit  of  the Spir it  is  love,  joy ,  peace, 
pa tience, kind ness, good ness, faith ful ness, 
23 gen tle ness,  and self-control. The  law  is  not 
 against  such  things. h 24  Now  those  who be long 
 to  Christ  Jesus  have cru ci fied  the  flesh  with 
 its pas sions  and de sires. 25  If  we  live  by  the 
Spir it,  let  us  also  keep  in  step  with  the Spir it.

11  So  then, re mem ber  that  at  one  time  you  were

out  God  in  the  world. 13  But  now  in  Christ  Jesus, 
 you  who  were  far  away  have  been  brought 
 near  by  the  blood  of  Christ. 14  For  he  is  our 
 peace,  who  made  both  groups  one  and  tore 
 down  the di vid ing  wall  of hos til i ty . In  his  flesh, 
15  he  made  of  no eff  ect  the  law con sist ing  of 
com mands  and ex pressed  in reg u la tions,  so 
 that  he  might cre ate  in him self  one  new  man 
 from  the  two, resulting  in  peace. 16  He  did  this 
 so  that  he  might rec on cile  both  to  God  in  one 
 body  through  the  cross  by  which  he  put  the 
hos til i ty  to  death. a 17  He  came  and pro claimed 
 the  good  news  of  peace  to  you  who  were  far 
 away  and  peace  to  those  who  were  near. 18  For 
 through  him  we  both  have ac cess  in  one spir it

5  Adopt  the  same at ti tude  as  that  of  Christ  Jesus,
 6 who, existing in the form of God,
  did not consider equality with God 
  as something to be exploited. a
 7 Instead he emptied himself
  by assuming the form of a servant,
  taking on the likeness of humanity . And when he had come as a man,
 8 he humbled himself 
by becoming obedient
  to the point of death —
  even to death on a cross. 9 For this reason God highly exalted him
  and gave him the name
  that is above every name,
 10 so that at the name of Jesus
  every knee will bow —
  in heaven and on earth
  and under the earth —
 11 and every tongue will confess
  that Jesus Christ is Lord,
  to the glory of God the Father. LIGHTS IN THE WORLD

Epaph ro di tus  —   my broth er, co work er,  and

min is ter  to  my  need — 26  since  he  has  been 
long ing  for  all  of  you  and  was dis tressed be-
cause  you  heard  that  he  was  sick. 27 In deed,  he 
 was  so  sick  that  he near ly  died. How ev er,  God 
 had mer cy  on  him,  and  not  only  on  him  but 
 also  on  me,  so  that  I  would  not  have sor row 
 upon sor row . 28  For  this rea son,  I  am  very ea-
ger  to  send  him  so  that  you  may re joice  again 
 when  you  see  him  and  I  may  be  less anx ious. 29 There fore, wel come  him  in  the  Lord  with 
 great  joy  and  hold peo ple  like  him  in hon or, 
30 be cause  he  came  close  to  death  for  the  work 
 of  Christ, risk ing  his  life  to  make  up  what  was 
lack ing  in  your min is try  to  me. KNOWING CHRIST

 about  this  is  no trou ble  for  me  and  is  a safe-
