in flaming fire, to take vengeance on those, who know not God, and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Now we conjure you, brethren, that with respect to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled with him,

and you know what hinders his throwing off the disguise at a time which he enjoys for the present.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ, and God our father, who has loved us, and by his favour given us the advantageous hopes of eternal joys, consolate your souls,

for you know what an example we have given for your imitation: that our conduct among you was regular:

not, that we had no just claim, but to present ourselves as a pattern, which you should imitate,

now being inform'd, that there are among you people of an irregular conduct, who neglect their own business, and busy themselves with the affairs of others:

Now the Lord of peace grant you continual peace in all respects. the Lord be with you all.
