⁴ and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;

³ and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

¹⁰ for ye do it also to all the brethren who `are' in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,

²¹ having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;

¹² and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

⁶ And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

¹ As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,

² for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus,

¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

⁶ having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform `it' till a day of Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

²² and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,

¹⁵ and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;

¹⁶ I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.

⁹ for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

³⁷ if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands;

¹⁹ the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God.

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

¹⁴ And I am persuaded, my brethren -- I myself also -- concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.'
