1 Paul testifies his thankfulness to God, and his love towards them, for the fruits of their faith, and fellowship in his sufferings;
9 daily praying to him for their increase in grace;
12 he shows what good the faith of Christ had received by his troubles at Rome;
21 and how ready he is to glorify Christ either by his life or death;
27 exhorting them to unity;
28 and to fortitude in persecution.
