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

but having suffered before, and been injuriously treated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much contention.

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

for indeed when we came to you, we told you before that we were about to suffer affliction, as it also happened, and you know.

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

to confirm your hearts without blame in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

that he should not go beyond and defraud his brother in the matter, because the Lord is a punisher of all these, as we also told you before and fully testified.
