For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, even because when ye received the word of God from us, ye received it, not as the word of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, who likewise effectually worketh in you that believe.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

That none circumvent or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these things, as we have also told you before and testified.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that are asleep.

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the brethren.
