But, Timothy having just now come to us from you, and having brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us at all times, longing to see us, as we also to see you??7 for this reason, brethren, we were comforted over you, in all our tribulation and distress, through your faith;

But concerning brotherly love, ye have no need that one write to you; for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

that ye walk becomingly towards those without, and that ye may have need of nothing.

But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those falling asleep, that ye sorrow not even as the rest who have no hope;

But, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written to you;
