Solicitude » For the welfare of the church
But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a complete and pure devotion to Christ.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me in person.
For I wrote to you with many tears out of an extremely troubled and anguished heart—not that you should be hurt, but that you should know the abundant love I have for you.
For I want very much to see you, so I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
My children, I am again suffering labor pains for you until Christ is formed in you.
