as ye know how we dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging you , and testifying,

that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.
