24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

24 But that does not mean we want to dominate you by telling you how to put your faith into practice. We want to work together with you so you will be full of joy, for it is by your own faith that you stand firm.

24 Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.

24 We are not trying to control your faith. You are strong in faith. But we are workers with you for your own joy.

24 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.

24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

24 It isn’t that we want to have control over your Christian faith. Rather, we want to work with you so that you will be happy. Certainly, you are firmly established in the Christian faith. 

24 I do not mean that we have control of your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand by faith.

24 I do not mean to imply that we lord it over your faith; rather, we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in the faith.

24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.

24 Your faith is not under our control. You stand firm in your own faith. But we work together with you for your joy.

24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.
