For from you, the word of the Lord sounded out, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also your faith in God has gone abroad in every place, so that we have no need to speak any thing.

that you should walk in a manner worthy of God, who has called you to his own kingdom and glory.

But now, since Timothy has come to us from you, and has told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us at all times, greatly desiring to see us, as indeed we desire to see you,

for God has not called us for uncleanness, but for holiness.

Therefore, he that despises, despises not man, but God, who has given us his Holy Spirit.

for God has not appointed us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Faithful is he that calls you; and he will do what he has promised.
