And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is {the joy} of you all.

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform {it} until the day of Jesus Christ: {perform: or, finish}

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
