We are bound to thank God always for you brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and every one of you swimmeth in love toward another between yourselves,

which is a token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye are counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.

in flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and to them that obey not unto the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Wherefore, we pray always for you that our God make you worthy of the calling, and fulfill all delectation of goodness, and the work of faith, with power:

Let no man deceive you by any means, for the Lord cometh not, except there come a departing first, and that that sinful man be opened, the son of perdition;

For the mystery of that iniquity doth he already work, which only looketh, till he be taken out of the way

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, for because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifying of the spirit; And through believing the truth:

Furthermore, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may have free passage, and be glorified, as it is with you:

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men. For all men have not faith:

Ye yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: For we behaved not ourselves inordinately among you.

Neither took we bread of any man for nought: but wrought with labour and travail night and day, because we would not be grievous to any of you:

For when we were with you, this we warned you of, that if there were any which would not work, that the same should not eat.
