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

But now Timothy having come to us from you and told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we also you,

for now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

and the Lord cause you to be full and abound with love one to another and to all men, as we also to you,

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

For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who live and remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those that have fallen asleep,

but let us who are of day be sober, putting on a cuirass of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation,

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

and to esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
