We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

the adversary of every being that is called a god or an object of worship, and so overbearing toward them as to enter God's sanctuary and take his seat there, proclaiming himself to be God??5 do you not remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you this?

and all kinds of wicked deception toward those people who are perishing [spiritually], because they refused to love the truth so they could be saved.

And we are persuaded in Lord toward you, that what we command you, ye both are doing and will do.

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.

we did not take free meals from anyone; no, toiling hard at our trade, we worked night and day, so as not to be a burden to any of you.

Yet don’t treat him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
