'Know' in the Bible

Brothers whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you,

for the gospel we brought did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed, you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

For you yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not a waste of time.

As you know, we suffered persecution and were mistreated in Philippi. Yet we were encouraged by our God to tell you his gospel in spite of strong opposition.

As you know, we did not come with flattering words or with a scheme to make money. God is our witness!

You know very well that we treated each of you the way a father treats his children.

In fact, when we were with you, we told you ahead of time that we were going to suffer persecution. And as you know, that is what happened.

You know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

Each of you must know how to control his own body in a holy and honorable manner,

not with passion and lust like the gentiles who do not know God.

for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
