First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,

I thank my God at my every remembrance of you--

Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.

We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

Praying

For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;

For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,

And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,

while night and day, with intense earnestness, we pray that we may see your faces, and may bring to perfection whatever may be still lacking in your faith?

And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself--and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope--

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
