¹³ while, through the proof of this ministry, they ^(A)glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal ^(B)sharing with them and all men,

^16 (A)But do not forget to do good and to share, for ^(B)with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Triumph in Christ

¹² Furthermore, ^(A)when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and ^(B)a ^[a]door was opened to me by the Lord,

^11 (A)If anyone speaks, let him speak as the ^[a]oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that ^(B)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the ^[b]dominion forever and ever. Amen.

⁹ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of ^(A)darkness into His marvelous light;

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^(A)He who promised is faithful.

⁹ And ^(A)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

Our Compassionate High Priest

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great ^(A)High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, ^(B)let us hold fast our confession.
