We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

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;

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
