remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also to see you;

for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you;

But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;

But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
