remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

And because of this we thank God without ceasing, because, having received the word of God heard from us, ye received not the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.

and to aspire to live quietly, and to do your own things, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you,

and to esteem them with exceptional love because of their work. Live peaceably among yourselves.
