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 you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is not it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

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