How that, our glad-message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, - even as ye know what manner of men we became unto you, for your sake;

For, they themselves, concerning us, do tell - what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from the idols - to be serving a living and true God,

Ye, are witnesses - God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;

Even as ye know how, unto each one of you, we were as a father unto his own children, consoling you, and soothing, and calling o witness, -

For the rest, brethren, we request and exhort you, in our Lord Jesus, that, even as ye received from us, how ye must needs walk and please God, - even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

That ye should know, each one of you, how, of his own vessel, to possess himself in sanctification and honour:
