¹⁵ For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

⁵ hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;

³ We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

²¹ This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

¹⁷ But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?

²² Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

¹⁴ The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

⁵ but the end of the charge is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

³ We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

⁹ But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

³ As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
