⁶ And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also `to see' you,

² And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

³ unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

⁵ And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

²⁵ `As' cold waters for a weary soul, So `is' a good report from a far country.

⁷ How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, `Reigned hath thy God.'

⁵ for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without `are' fightings, within -- fears;

⁶ but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;

⁷ and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,

⁶ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,

²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

⁷ Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be imitating,

³ be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body;

⁵ hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

¹³ and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love.

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that `is' to all the saints,

¹⁸ The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace `is' with you. Amen.

⁹ for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;

¹⁷ And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour -- in presence, not in heart -- did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire,

⁹ for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?

¹⁰ night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.

³ We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

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

³ I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications night and day,
