For this cause also we thank God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received it not as the word of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from lewdness.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
