Paul is reminding the church of the great affliction he had serving God and the great affection they had for him serving God.
He adopted us as sons.
Justified by His blood. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Be a man!
Are you plowing a straight row for God?
Failure to protect, purify, procure & provide
"Praise thy name for ever and ever."
Freedom from the law.
Jerusalem above is the mother of us all.
