for we can never forget before our God and Father your energetic faith, your loving service, and your unwavering expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

for now I can really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

For how can I thank God enough for you, for all the happiness you make me feel in the presence of our God,

For we can assure you, on the Lord's own authority, that those of us who will still be living when the Lord comes will have no advantage over those who have fallen asleep.

He who calls you can be relied on, and he will do this.
