I want you to know, brothers and sisters, ¹  that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel: ² 

So I hope to send him as soon as I know more about my situation,

Only conduct yourselves ¹  in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that – whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent – I should hear that ²  you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, ³ 

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance ¹  through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Finally, my brothers and sisters, ¹  rejoice in the Lord! To write this again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
