Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the ekklesias, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf. |
Therefore show to them, and before the ekklesias the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf. |
Therefore openly before the ekklesias show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about you. |

Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our pride in you, so that the ekklesias can see it. |
Show to these men, therefore, in the sight of the ekklesias, the reality and plain truth of your love (your affection, goodwill, and benevolence) and what [good reasons] I had for boasting about and being proud of you. |
Wherefore, be demonstrating to them in the presence of the assemblies the evidence of your divine and self-sacrificial love and of our boasting concerning you. |
|
So do let them see how genuine is your love, and justify my pride in you, so that all the ekklesias may see it. |
So you must furnish them, before all the ekklesias, proof of your love and ground for my praising you so highly. |
