for we can never for a moment before our God forget your energizing faith, your toiling love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

You can testify, and God too, with what pure, upright, and irreproachable motives I dealt with you who believed;

For how can I render God enough thanks for you, for all the joy I have on account of you in the presence of our God,

but continue to prove all things until you can approve them, and then hold on to what is good.
