For this cause do we also give thanks to God unceasingly, because when ye received the word reported by us from God, ye received it not as the word of man, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which worketh also effectually in you that believe.

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

for this cause we have felt consolation, brethren, in you under all our tribulation and distress, because of your fidelity.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from whoredom;

that no man transgress against, or act dishonestly to his brother in this matter because the Lord is the avenger of all such things, as we have told you before, and testified.

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

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-wards.

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