⁹ For ^(A)God, whom I ^(B)serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how without ceasing ^(C)I make mention of you,

¹⁶ For if I proclaim the gospel, I have nothing to boast, for ^(A)I am under compulsion. For woe is me if I do not proclaim ^(B)the gospel.

⁹ For this reason also, ^(A)since the day we heard, ^(B)we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the ^[a](C)full knowledge of His will in all spiritual ^(D)wisdom and understanding,

¹⁰ as we ^(A)night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may ^(B)see your face, and may ^(C)complete what is lacking in your faith?

^3 (A)I am grateful to God, whom I ^(B)serve with a ^(C)clear conscience ^[a]the way my forefathers did, ^(D)as I unceasingly remember you in my ^[b]prayers night and day,
