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

[because we] remember your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

because we know brethren beloved of God, how that ye are elect.

because the good-news from us happened to you not in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, as ye know what kind of men we became among you, because of you.

And you followed the example set by us and by the Lord, because you welcomed our message with a joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, in spite of the painful persecutions it brought you,

Rather, because we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, we speak as we do, not trying to please people but God, who tests our motives.

Thus being desirous of you, we were pleased to impart to you, not only the good-news of God, but also our own souls, because ye have become beloved to us.

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

And because of this we thank God without ceasing, because, having received the word of God heard from us, ye received not the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.

For ye, brothers, became imitators of the congregations of God, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because ye also suffered the same things by your own countrymen, just as also they by the Jews.

because they hinder us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they constantly fill up their measure of sins, but wrath has come upon them completely.

For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again [wanted to come], but Satan hindered us.

So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

Because of this, I too, no longer covering over it, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow he who tempts was tempting you, and our labor became in vain.

But now, [because] Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that {you always think kindly of us}, desiring to see us just as also we [desire to see] you,

because of this, brothers, we were encouraged toward you in all our affliction and necessity through your faith.

Because now we live, if ye stand firm in Lord.

For what thanks can we repay God about you, for all the joy in which we rejoiced because of you before our God,

Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

that no one should do wrong and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord takes vengeance for all such things, as we told you before and solemnly warned you.

Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.

About brotherly love: You don’t need me to write you because you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the arch-agent, and with a trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first,

But [because] we are of the day, we must be sober, [by] putting on the breastplate of faith and love and [as] a helmet the hope of salvation,

Because God appointed us not for wrath, but for an acquired possession of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us.

and to esteem them with exceptional love because of their work. Live peaceably among yourselves.

In everything be thankful, because this is God's will for you in the Messiah Jesus.
