But I pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not in order that we [[a]our teaching] may appear to be approved, but that you may continue doing right, [though] we may seem to have failed and be unapproved.

For we are glad when we are weak ([d]unapproved) and you are really strong. And this we also pray for: your all-round strengthening and perfecting of soul.
