But we request you, brethren, - in behalf of the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him,

In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well-pleased with the unrighteousness.

But, we, are bound to give thanks unto God continually concerning you, brethren beloved by the Lord, for that God chose you, from the beginning, unto salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth, -

But may, our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, - Who hath loved you, and given you age-abiding consolation and good hope by favour,

But may, the Lord, guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the endurance of the Christ.

Nor, as a free-gift, did eat, bread, from anyone, but, with toil and hardship, night and day, working, - that we might not burden any of you; -

Not because we have not authority, but that, ourselves, as an ensample, we might hold forth unto you, - to the end ye might he imitating us.

But, ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing; -

And, not as an enemy, be esteeming him, but be admonishing him, as a brother.

But may, the Lord of peace himself, give you peace, always, in every way. The Lord, be with you all.
