First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the whole world is hearing about your faith.

But thanks be to God! For though at one time you were slaves to sin, you have obeyed with all your heart the truths found in the teaching you received.

When he arrived and saw how God had blessed the people, he was glad and urged them all to be faithful and true to the Lord with all their hearts.

After hearing him, they all praised God. Then they said, "Brother Paul, you can see how many thousands of Jews have become believers, and how devoted they all are to the Law.

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

The Father and I are one."

If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.

I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever.

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

"The Helper will come---the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me.

And our Lord poured out his abundant grace on me and gave me the faith and love which are ours in union with Christ Jesus.
