For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;
But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:
whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
