⁸ first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

¹⁹ for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;

⁴ I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

³ I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you,

¹⁷ and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

¹⁴ and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.
