In context

10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,

11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

12 And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.

13 For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

14 as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.
