as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,

For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more,

But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.
