For your selues, brethren, knowe our entrance in vnto you, that it was not in vaine.

For our exhortation was not of deceite, nor of vncleannesse, nor in guile:

For neither at any time vsed wee flattering wordes, as yee knowe, nor a cloke of couetousnesse, God is witnesse:

For yee remember, brethren, our labour and trauaile: for labourng night and day, because wee would not bee chargeable vnto any of you, wee preached vnto you the Gospel of God.

For this cause also thanke wee God without ceasing, because when yee receiued the word of God, which yee heard of vs, yee receiued it not as the word of men, but (as it is in trueth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that beleeue.

For yee, brethren, became followers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus: for ye also haue suffered like things of your owne countreymen, euen as they haue of the Iewes:

Forbidding vs to speake to the Gentiles, that they might bee saued, to fill vp their sinnes alway: for the wrath is come vpon them to the vttermost.

But wee, brethren, beeing taken from you for a short time, in presence, not in heart, endeuored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

For what is our hope, or ioy, or crowne of reioycing? Are not euen ye in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his comming?

For, ye are our glory and ioy.

That no man should be mooued by these afflictions: for your selues know that we are appointed therunto.

For verily when wee were with you, we told you before, that we should suffer tribulation, euen as it came to passe and ye know.

For this cause when I could no longer forbeare, I sent to know your faith, lest by some meanes the tempter haue tempted you, and our labor be in vaine.

For now we liue, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

For what thankes can we render to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith wee ioy for your sakes before our God,

For yee know what commandements wee gaue you, by the Lord Iesus.

For this is the will of God, euen your sanctification, that yee should absteine from fornication:

For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.

But as touching brotherly loue, ye need not that I write vnto you: for yee your selues are taught of God to loue one an other.
