For vår ros er dette, det vitnesbyrd vår samvittighet gir, at vi i hellighet og oppriktighet fra Gud, ikke i kjødelig visdom, men i Guds nåde, har levd i verden, og mye mer overfor dere.
For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
