Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. {I have...: or, ye have me in your heart} {of my...: or, with me of grace}

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which {be} the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

And though I have {the gift of} prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
