⁹ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

¹⁰ God does what is right. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for him. You have helped God's people and you are still helping them.

¹¹ We want every one of you to try in the same way. Then you will get what you hope for right up to the end.
