remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
