Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Yehudah in Messiah Yeshua; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Yehudim;

who killed both the Lord Yeshua and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn't please God, and are contrary to all men;

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, direct our way to you;

to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua with all his holy ones.

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Yeshua, that, as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, -- that you abound more and more.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

not in the passion of lust, even as the Goyim who don't know God;

For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

Therefore he who rejects, doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Ruach HaKodesh to you.

But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua will God bring with him.

For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you.

May the God of shalom himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
