you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you.

Paul Prefers Gentleness

Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.
