13 for Aloha himself effectuates [fn] in you also to will, also to do, the thing which you will. [fn]

to be unto them for a place of salvation, for my exultation in the day of the Meshiha, that I may not have run in vain, nor laboured to no purpose.

For I have no other who is so as my (own) soul, who will diligently take care for yours.

For all are seeking what is theirs, and not what is of Jeshu Meshiha.
