Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
Because in my eyes you are precious, because you are honored and I love you, I will give people in exchange for you and nations in return for your life.
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other.
