⁴ But because of his great love for us,^(A) God, who is rich in mercy,

¹¹ I long to see you^(A) so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift^(B) to make you strong—

⁴ Recalling your tears,^(A) I long to see you,^(B) so that I may be filled with joy.

²⁰ Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened^(A) in his faith and gave glory to God,^(B)

¹³ And I will do whatever you ask^(A) in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁷ For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.^(A) They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever^[a] you want.^(B)

¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders,^(A) through the power of the Spirit of God.^(B) So from Jerusalem^(C) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.^(D)

¹³ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace^(A) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.^(B)
