And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.

For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith:

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

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.

in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren.
