For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.

διοτι αν και κατα το σωμα ημαι απων, με το πνευμα ομως ειμαι μεθ' υμων, χαιρων και βλεπων την ταξιν σας και την σταθεροτητα της εις Χριστον πιστεως σας.

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
