In addition,<n id="1" /> this brother<n id="2" /> has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift<n id="3" /> to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.<n id="4" />

For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist,<n id="1" /> in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer<n id="2" /> of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Such trials show the proven character of your faith,<n id="1" /> which is much more valuable than gold &#8211; gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away<n id="2" /> &#8211; and will bring praise<n id="3" /> and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.<n id="4" />
