ὅτι

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

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

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe(because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
