We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers;
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
