For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; |
For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, |
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end; |
|
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. |
For we have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end. |
for we have become participators of Messiah and as a present result are participators of Him, [and that is shown] if we hold the beginning of our assured expectation steadfast to the end. |
|
For we continue to share in all that Christ has for us so long as we steadily maintain until the end the trust with which we began. |
For we have become real sharers in Christ, if we keep firm to the end the faith we had at first, |
