For it was from you that the Lord's Message resounded throughout Macedonia and Greece; and, more than that, your faith in God has become known far and wide; so that there is no need for us to say another word.

As to love for the Brethren there is no need to write to you; for you have yourselves been taught by God to love one another;

But as to the times and the moments, there is no need, Brothers, for any one to write to you.

When people are saying 'All is quiet and safe,' it is then that, like birth-pains upon a woman with child, Ruin comes suddenly upon them, and there will be no escape!
