We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds;

who shall pay the penalty of everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might,

and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.

that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.

not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.
