and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that doth not eat, to the Lord he doth not eat, and giveth thanks to God.

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

In word

encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

My children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Giving

giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;

rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name.

be ye yourselves also, as living stones, built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

If any one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

God

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him;

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace.

For to which of the angels did he ever say: "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?" and again: "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.
