4:1 I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,
4:2 With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;
4:3 Taking care to keep the harmony of the Spirit in the yoke of peace.

2:1 So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
2:2 And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.
2:3 Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.
