for we can never for a moment before our God forget your energizing faith, your toiling love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1:7) For the message of the Lord has rung out from you, not only in Macedonia and Greece, but everywhere the report of your faith in God has been told, so that we need never mention it.

Indeed, we never resorted to flattery, as you are well aware, nor to any pretext for making money; God is our witness.

We never sought praise from men, either from you or from anyone else; although as apostles we could have stood on our official dignity.

Furthermore, you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard, because the Lord avenges all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

We beseech you, brothers, keep a check upon loafers, encourage the faint-hearted, sustain weak souls, never lose your temper with anyone;

Never stop praying.

never quench the fire of the Spirit,

never disdain prophetic revelations
