As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.

Now I want to talk about some other matters, brothers and sisters. We taught you how to live in a way that pleases God. In fact, that is how you are living. In the name of the Lord Jesus we ask and beg you to do it more and more.

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.

Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.

Finally then, brothers and sisters, we request and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us as to how you ought to walk and please God( just as you actually do walk), that you excel even more.

Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;

Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk,— that ye abound more and more.

Finally then, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you must walk and please God— as you are doing— do so even more.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort[ you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God,[ so] ye would abound more and more.

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God,

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, since your faith is flourishing and the love each one of you has for one another is increasing.

Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.

And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment,

Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received,

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him: We ask you, brothers and sisters,

So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in him,

I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus,appeal to you for my son, Onesimus. I became his father while I was in chains.

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice. Become mature, be encouraged, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone, just as we do for you.

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness,godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins.Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble.

For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Brothers and sisters, I urge you to receive this message of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

Yet the righteous person will hold to his way, and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.

As you know, like a father with his own children,we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

In addition, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you,

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand

Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to him.

Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.

In the presence of God, who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge youto keep this command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now I, Paul, myself, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

Just one thing: As citizens of heaven, live your life worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, in one accord, contending together for the faith of the gospel,

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread,

In fact, when we were with you, this is what we commanded you:“ If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”For we hear that there are some among you who are idle. They are not busy but busybodies.Now we command and exhort such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and provide for themselves.

Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

But that is not how you came to know Christ,

Working together with him, we also appeal to you,“ Don’t receive the grace of God in vain.”

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

because I did not avoid declaring to you the whole plan of God.

In fact, you are doing this toward all the brothers and sisters in the entire region of Macedonia. But we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to do this even more,to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,so that you may behave properly in the presence of outsiders and not be dependent on anyone.

They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green,

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom:
