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,

We know, my brothers who are dearly loved by God, about your election [i.e., that you were chosen by God because of your obedient faith],

because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort 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.

So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto 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.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

for ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye suffered, even ye, from your own countrymen, as also they from 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.

because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and 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 also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

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 we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

because now we live if ye stand firm in the Lord.

for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?

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

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

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, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall 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 has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

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