and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.

But we were gentle in the midst of you, even as a nurse cherisheth her own children;

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

for even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction, just as it came to pass, and ye know.

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we do in love toward you;

Furthermore then, brethren, we beseech you, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye are walking, ye would abound still more;

not in the passion of lust, even as the gentiles who know not God;
