The brethren

Helped

For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:

For to you it is granted as a favor from Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for his sake:

being buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are raised together with Him, through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord; because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth:

But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared,

Be not therefore deceived, my beloved brethren: for every good gift,

Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ,---may grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
