But we (brethren) for as moch as we haue bene kepte from you for a season, as concernynge the bodely presence, but not in the hert, we haue haisted the more with greate desyre to se you personally.

For who is oure hope, or ioye, or crowne of reioysinge? are not ye it in ye sighte of oure LORDE Iesus Christ at his commynge?

that noman shulde be moued in these troubles: (for ye youre selues knowe, that we are euen appoynted there vnto.

For this cause seynge I coulde no longer forbeare, I sent, that I mighte haue knowlege of youre faith, lest happly the tempter had tempted you, and lest oure laboure had bene in vayne.

For now are we alyue, yf ye stonde stedfast in ye LORDE.

For what thankes can we recompece to God agayne for you, because of this ioye that we haue concernynge you before oure God?

For ye knowe what commaundementes we gaue you by oure LORDE Iesus Christ.

For this is the will of God, euen youre sanctifienge, that ye shulde absteyne from whordome,

And that no man go to farre, ner defraude his brother in bargayninge. For the LORDE is the auenger of all soch thinges, as we haue sayde & testified vnto you afore tyme.

For God hath not called vs to vnclennesse, but vnto holynes.

But as touchinge brotherly loue, ye nede not that I wryte vnto you, for ye youre selues are taught of God to loue one another:

For yf we beleue that Iesus dyed and rose agayne, euen so the also which slepe by Iesus, shal God brynge with him.

For this we saye vnto you in the worde of the LORDE, that we which lyue and are remaynynge in the comynge of the LORDE, shal not come yer they which slepe.

For the LORDE himselfe shal come downe fro heauen with a shoute and voyce of ye Archangell and with the trompe of God, and the deed in Christ shal aryse first:

For ye youre selues knowe perfectly, that the daye of the LORDE shal come euen as a thefe in the nighte.

For whan they shal saye: Tush, It is peace, there is no daunger, then shall soden destruccion come vpo the, euen as the payne of a woman trauaylinge with childe, and they shal not escape.

For they that slepe, slepe in the nighte: and they that be dronken, are dronken in the nighte.

For God hath not appoynted vs vnto wrath, but to optayne saluacion by ye meanes of oure LORDE Iesu Christ,

which dyed for vs: that whether we wake or slepe, we shulde lyue together with him.

and geue you exhortacion, that ye haue the the more in loue for their workes sake, and be at peace with them.
