Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
Since it's right for me to think highly of you all, because you're in my heart, I want you to know that you all share in my grace. This is true whether I am in chains or standing up for the gospel.
