Unto which end, we are also praying continually for you, that our God may count, you, worthy of your calling, and fulfil every good-pleasure of goodness and work of faith, with power, -

For, the secret, of lawlessness, already, is inwardly working itself, - only, until, he that restraineth at present, shall be gone, out of the midst:

And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood, -

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, -

For the rest, brethren, be praying for us, - that, the word of the Lord, may be running, and gaining glory, according as it did even with you;

And that we may be rescued from the presuming and wicked men; for, not all, hold the faith.

For, ye yourselves, know, how needful it is to be imitating us, in that we were not disorderly among you,

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; -

For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you, - that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!
