For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

fain, in our yearning affection for you, to impart not only the gospel of God to you but our very souls as well ??you had so won our love.

because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

Finally, then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God??ven as ye also are walking??hat ye abound more and more;

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