without ceasing calling to mind your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

and sent Timothy our brother, and a minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, that he might stablish you, and comfort you concerning your faith:

But now when Timothy returned to us from you, and brought us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye retain a kind remembrance of us always, earnestly desirous to see us, as we are also to see you:

night and day most fervently praying that we may see your face, and amply supply the deficiencies of your faith?

but let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
