⁵ on your communing in the gospel of Christ, from the first day till now [from the first day unto now];

⁶ trusting this same thing, that he that began in you a good work, shall perform it till into the day of Jesus Christ.

⁷ As it is just to me to feel this thing for all you [for you all], for that I have you in heart, and in my bonds, and in defending and confirming of the gospel, that all ye be fellows of my joy.
