¹⁸ But what? while on all manner, either by occasion, either by truth, Christ is showed [What soothly? the while on all manner, either by contention, either by truth, Christ is showed]; and in this thing I have joy, but also I shall have joy.

¹⁹ And I know, that this thing shall come to me into health by your prayer, and the under-ministering of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

²⁰ by mine abiding and hope [after mine abiding and hope]. For in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all trust as evermore and now, Christ shall be magnified in my body, either by life, either by death.

²¹ For [to] me to live is Christ, and to die is winning.

²² That if to live in flesh, [this] is fruit of work to me, lo! what I shall choose, I know not. [That if to live in flesh, this is fruit of work to me, and what I shall choose, I know not.]

²³ But I am constrained of two things, I have desire to be departed [Forsooth I am constrained of two things, having desire to be dissolved, or departed the soul from the body], and to be with Christ, it is much more better;

²⁴ but to dwell in flesh, is needful for you.

²⁵ And I trusting this thing, know that I shall dwell, and perfectly dwell to all you, to your profit and joy of faith,

²⁶ that your thanking abound in Christ Jesus in me, by my coming again to you.
