Pureness

Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

You are witnesses, with God, how holy and upright and free from all evil was our way of life among you who have faith;

Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour,

Knowledge

Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.

And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;

For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

In whom are all the secret stores of wisdom and knowledge.

Long suffering

Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble;

Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

By the

For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

Love

For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.

And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less?

And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.

And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.

Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.
