He that regardeth a day regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, in deference to the Lord he doth not regard it. So he, that eateth all sorts of food, eateth to the Lord; for he giveth God thanks for it; and he that eateth not of some kinds of food, in deference to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks for the rest.

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

In word

and establish you in every good word and work.

My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth.

Giving

giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:

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

And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world:

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

In every circumstance be thankful; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

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

and precious, ye also are built up as living stones, a spiritual house, an holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

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

God

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him,

and every tongue 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 in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
