But we are bound to giue thanks alway to God for you, brethren, beloued of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to saluation, through sanctification of the spirit, and beleefe of the trueth,

Finally, brethren, pray for vs, that the word of the Lord may haue free course, and be glorified, euen as it is with you:

And that we may bee deliuered from vnreasonable and wicked men: for all men haue not faith.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the loue of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

For your selues know how yee ought to follow vs: for wee behaued not our selues disorderly among you,

Neither did wee eate any mans bread for nought: but wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, that wee might not bee chargeable to any of you.

For euen when wee were with you, this wee commanded you, that if any would not worke, neither should he eate.

Now vnto ye king eternal, immortall, inuisible, the onely wise God, be honour and glory for euer & euer. Amen.

I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men:

For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,

For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and men, the man Christ Iesus,

Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all, to be testified in due time.

For Adam was first formed, then Eue:

(For if a man know not how to rule his owne house, how shall he take care of the Church of God?)
