Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

I know who I am and to whom I write. I am a convict, ye have received mercy: I am in peril, ye are established.

2Ye are the high-road of those that are on their way to die unto God. Ye are associates in the mysteries with Paul, who was sanctified, who obtained a good report, who is worthy of all felicitation; in whose foot-steps I would fain be found treading, when I shall attain unto God; who in every letter maketh mention of you in Christ Jesus.
