just as ye know, as each one of you as a father of his own children, imploring you, and comforting,

For ye, brothers, became imitators of the congregations of God, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because ye also suffered the same things by your own countrymen, just as also they by the Jews.

For also when we were with you we foretold you that we were going to be oppressed, just as it also happened, and ye know.

But now of Timothy, having come to us from you, and having proclaimed good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye always have a good recollection of us, longing to see us, just as we also you,

And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward each other, and toward all men, just as also we toward you,

Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you, and summon in Lord Jesus, that just as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye may abound more.

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

Therefore encourage each other, and build ye up one by one, just as ye also are doing.
