And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
I'm completely convinced about you all, you're genuinely good people, you know what you're talking about, and you're totally capable of calling each other out when needed and lifting each other up.
Paul's basically saying 'I believe in you, you've got the heart, the knowledge, and the wisdom to help each other grow.'
