remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you in return for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

so that he may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

and that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.
