without ceasing, and call to remembrance your work in the faith, and labour in love and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our father:

For from you sounded out the word of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which ye have unto God, spread herself abroad in all quarters, so greatly that it needeth not us to speak anything at all:

and sent Timothy our brother and minister of God, and our labour fellow in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you over your faith,

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent that I might have knowledge of your faith, lest haply the tempter had tempted you, and that our labour had been bestowed in vain.

But now lately when Timothy came from you unto us and declared to us your faith, and your love, and how that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we desire to see you.

Therefore, brethren, had we consolation in you, in all our adversity, and necessity through your faith.

while we night and day pray exceedingly, that we might see you presently, and might fulfill that which is lacking in your faith.

But let us which are of the day be sober, armed with the breast plate of faith and love, and with hope of salvation as a helmet.
