For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. |
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see (literally, and seeing) your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. |
For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ. |
For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. |
For even though I am absent [from you] in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, delighted to see your good discipline [as you stand shoulder to shoulder and form a solid front] and to see the stability of your faith in Christ [your steadfast reliance on Him and your unwavering confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness]. |
For if, as is the case, I am in fact absent in my flesh, yet I am with you in my spirit, rejoicing and beholding your orderly array and the solid front of your faith in Christ. |
For though I am a long way away from you in body, in spirit I am by your side, watching like a proud father the solid steadfastness of your faith in Christ. |
For though I am far away in person, still I am with you in spirit, and I am glad to note your fine order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. |
For 1063 though 1487 - 2532 I be absent 548 in the 3588 flesh, 4561 yet 235 am 1510 I with 4862 you 5213 in the 3588 spirit, 4151 joying 5463 and 2532 beholding 991 your 5216 order, 5010 and 2532 the 3588 stedfastness 4733 of your 5216 faith 4102 in 1519 Christ. 5547 |
