For this cause thank we God without ceasing, because that when ye received of us the word, wherewith God was preached, ye received it not as the word of man: but even as it was, indeed, the word of God; which worketh in you that believe.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent that I might have knowledge of your faith, lest haply the tempter had tempted you, and that our labour had been bestowed in vain.

For this is the will of God, even that ye should be holy, and that ye should abstain from fornication,

And this say we unto you in the word of the Lord, that we which live and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not come before they which sleep.

In all things give thanks. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

I charge you in the Lord, that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
