For our good news was not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much complete certainty; as we know what we were among you for your sake.

For from you sounded forth the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith towards God went out; so that we have no need to speak any thing.

But also having suffered before, and having been injured, as ye know, among the Philippians, we acted freely in our God to speak to you the good news of God with much contest.

So longing for you, we are contented to impart to you, not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because ye are dearly beloved to us.

For ye remember, brethren, our fatigue and toil: for also working night and day, not to overload any of you, we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

For this also we return thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of God from our report, ye received not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, which is also energetic in you the believing.

For ye, brethren, were imitators of the churches of God being in Judea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things by your own race, as they also by the Jews:

They also having slain the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and having driven you out; and not pleasing God, and opposite to all men;

Wherefore we would have come to you, I Paul, truly also once and twice; and the adversary hindered us.

For what our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Are not also ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his arrival?

For also, when we were with you, we told you before that we were about to be pressed; as also it was, and ye know.

For this I also, no more concealing, sent to know your faith, lest some way he tempting have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.

And now Timothy having come to us from you, and having announced to us the good news, your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance. of us always, greatly desiring to see us, as we also you:

And the Lord increase you and make you to abound in love to one another, and to all, as also we to you:

Not in the passion of eager desire, as also the nations not knowing God:

For surely therefore he despising, despises not man, but God, he also giving his holy Spirit for us.

For also ye do the same to all the brethren, them in the whole of Macedonia: and we beseech you, brethren, to more abound;

And I wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of them having been asleep, that ye should not grieve, as also the rest, they hating no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also God by Jesus Christ will bring with him them having slept.

Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober.

Wherefore comfort one another, and build up one another, as also ye do.

Faithful he calling you, who also will do.
