We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth;

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth:

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves a pattern to you to follow us.
