An garans he goin do um! An he goin stay do um till Jesus Christ come back!

An wen I try fo tell peopo how come I trus da Good Stuff From God, an wen I tell um how fo dem know dat all da Good Stuff From God stay fo real, you guys do da same kine work jalike me. An erytime God do good kine stuff fo me, he do da same kine good stuff fo you guys too. 8 God know how plenny love an aloha I get fo you guys. I feel lidat cuz Jesus Christ feel lidat.

9 So den, dis how I pray: “God, help da Philippi peopo fo get mo an mo love an aloha.

Now dey get da guts fo tell peopo wat God tell, an no need come sked.

But den, get odda guys dat tell peopo bout Christ cuz dey get one good heart. 16 Dey do um wit love an aloha, an dey know dat I stay hea fo tell peopo how come I know fo shua da Good Stuff From God stay fo real. 17 You guys know da odda buggahs! You know dey ony like teach peopo bout Christ fo show dey mo betta den me! Dass not right, you know, da way dey tink. Dey like make prison mo worse fo me still yet, fo me suffa even moa.

18 So, wat den? Get guys dat tell bout Christ fo make erybody tink dey big. Odda guys, dey do um fo real kine. But no matta dey fake o dey fo real, get guys stay tell peopo bout Christ, an dat make me stay good inside!

An you know, I jus goin stay good inside lidat 19 cuz I know dis: bumbye God goin get me outa all dis stuff. An you know how he goin do dat? Cuz you guys pray, az how. An wateva I need, Jesus Christ Spirit goin help me plenny. 20 I stay waiting real good fo dat fo happen. I stay shua dat notting goin make me come shame. I goin be strong, an I no goin come sked. Erytime peopo see wat happen to me, jalike befo time, I like dem see how awesome Christ stay, jalike befo time, no matta I stay alive o I mahke.

21 Da way I see um, if I stay alive, I stay tight wit Christ, an if I gotta mahke, I stay live wit him foeva, an dass even mo betta! 22 So den, if I stay alive hea in da world, I can do mo plenny still yet.
