But, having been found worthy by God to be entrusted with the Good News, therefore we tell it; with a view to please, not men, but God who proves our hearts.

Our affection therefore to you being so great, we were as ready to give our lives for you, as we were to communicate the divine gospel to you, so much did you engage our love.

Therefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

Therefore, when we could no longer endure our separation [from you], we thought it best to be left behind, alone at Athens,

Therefore I indeed, no longer containing, sent that I might know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter tempted you, and our labor may be in vain.

Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to [you] in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

Therefore comfort and encourage one another with these words [concerning our reunion with believers who have died].

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

But since we [believers] belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope and confident assurance of salvation.

Therefore encourage and comfort one another and build up one another, just as you are doing.
