Ye remember brethre oure laboure and travayle. For we laboured daye and nyght because we wolde not be greveous vnto eny of you and preached vnto you ye gospell of God.

Ye are witnesses and so is god how holyly and iustly and vnblameable we behaved oure selves amonge you that beleve:

that ye wolde walke worthy of God which hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glory.

For this cause thanke we god with out ceasynge because that when ye receaved of vs the worde wherwith God was preached ye receaved it not as the worde of man: but even as it was in dede the worde of God which worketh in you that beleve.

For ye brethre became folowers of the congregacions of god which in Iewry are in Christ Iesu: for ye have suffered lyke thynges of youre kynsmen as we oure selves have suffered of the Iewes.

Which as they kylled the lorde Iesus and their awne prophetes even so have they persecuted vs and God they please not and are contrary to all men

and forbid vs to preache vnto the gentyls that they myght be saved to fulfill their synnes all waye. For the wrath of God is come on them even to the vtmost.

and sent Timotheus oure brother and minister of god and oure laboure felowe in the gospell of Christ to stablysshe you and to coforte you over youre fayth

For what thankes can we recompence to god agayne for you over all the ioye that we ioye for youre sakes before oure god

God him silfe oure father and oure lorde Iesus Christ gyde oure iorney vnto you:

to make youre hertes stable and vnblameable in holynes before God oure father at the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ with all his sainctes.

Further more we beseche you brethren and exhorte you in the lorde Iesus that ye increace more and more euen as ye have receaved of vs how ye ought to walke and to please god.

For this is the will of god even that ye shuld be holy and that ye shuld abstayne from fornicacion

and not in the lust of concupiscence as do the hethen which knowe not god

For god hath not called vs vnto vnclennes: but vnto holynes.

He therfore that despiseth despiseth not man but God which hath sent his holy sprete amonge you.

But as touchynge brotherly love ye nede not that I wryte vnto you. For ye are taught of God to love on another.

For yf we beleve that Iesus dyed and rose agayne: even so them also which slepe by IeIesus will God brynge agayne with him.

For the Lorde him selfe shall descende fro heve with a showte and the voyce of the archangell and trompe of God. And the deed in Christe shall aryse fyrst:

For god hath not apoynted vs vnto wrath: but to obtayne salvacion by ye meanes of oure lorde Iesu Christ
