For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

because of this, brothers, we were encouraged toward you in all our affliction and necessity through your faith.

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

For ye are also doing it toward all the brothers in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, to abound more,

so that ye may walk properly toward those outside, and may have nothing lacking.

And we encourage you, brothers, admonish the unruly, strengthen the weak-spirited, help the infirmed, be patient toward all.
