According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. |
according to my earnest expectation and hope that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. |
according to my earnest expectation and hope that I shall not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ shall even now; as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. |
|
I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. |
This is in keeping with my own eager desire and persistent expectation and hope, that I shall not disgrace myself nor be put to shame in anything; but that with the utmost freedom of speech and unfailing courage, now as always heretofore, Christ (the Messiah) will be magnified and get glory and praise in this body of mine and be boldly exalted in my person, whether through (by) life or through (by) death. |
And this is exactly in accordance with my undivided and intense expectancy and hope, namely, that with respect to not even one thing shall I be put to shame [defeated], but in every boldness, courage, and fearlessness of uninhibited freedom of speech as always so also now, Christ shall be conspicuously and gloriously manifested in my body, whether through [a continued] life [on earth] or through [a martyr’s] death, |
|
It all accords with my own earnest wishes and hopes, which are that I should never be in any way ashamed, but that now, as always I should honour Christ with the utmost boldness by the way I live, whether that means I am to face death or to go on living. |
in accordance with my eager expectation and hope that I shall never disgrace myself but that now as always hitherto, by my all-conquering courage, whether by living or dying, Christ will be honored in me. |
