Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.
And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
I rejoice, because I have complete confidence in you.
I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.
And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.
