Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. That’s because God chose you as the first to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth.

He gives strength to those who are tired. He gives power to those who are weak.Even young people become worn out and get tired. Even the best of them trip and fall.But those who trust in the Lord will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.

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.

The path of those who do right is like the sun in the morning. It shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.

You have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. So you have an honest and true love for each other. So love one another deeply, from your hearts.

How can we thank God enough for you? We thank God because of all the joy we have in his presence. We have this joy because of you.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you. People all over the world are talking about your faith.

So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge.To knowledge, add the ability to control yourselves. To the ability to control yourselves, add the strength to keep going. To the strength to keep going, add godliness.To godliness, add kindness for one another. And to kindness for one another, add love.All these things should describe you more and more. They will make you useful and fruitful as you know our Lord Jesus Christ better.But what if these things don’t describe someone at all? Then that person can’t see very well. In fact, they are blind. They have forgotten that their past sins have been washed away.My brothers and sisters, try very hard to show that God has appointed you to be saved. Try hard to show that he has chosen you. If you do everything I have just said, you will never trip and fall.

But we had to celebrate and be glad. This brother of yours was dead. And now he is alive again. He was lost. And now he is found.’ ”

But Timothy has come to us from you just now. He has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have happy memories of us. He has also said that you desire to see us, just as we desire to see you.

May the Lord make your love grow. May it be like a rising flood. May your love for one another increase. May it also increase for everyone else. May it be just like our love for you.

We don’t need to write to you about your love for one another. God himself has taught you to love one another.In fact, you do love all God’s family all around Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to love one another more and more.

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him both now and forever. Amen.

I pray that your love will grow more and more. And let it be based on knowledge and understanding.

But godly people will keep doing what is right. Those who have clean hands will grow stronger.

I always thank my God for you. I thank him because of the grace he has given to you who belong to Christ Jesus.

We always thank God for all of you. We keep on praying for you.We remember you when we pray to our God and Father. Your work is produced by your faith. Your service is the result of your love. Your strength to continue comes from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit.

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you. I love you with all my heart. I may be held by chains, or I may be standing up for the truth of the good news. Either way, all of you share in God’s grace together with me.

Their roots will be firm in the house of the Lord. They will grow strong and healthy in the courtyards of our God.

I think it is right for me to remind you. It is right as long as I live in this tent. I’m talking about my body.

The apostles said to the Lord,“ Give us more faith!”

Always give thanks to God the Father for everything. Give thanks to him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Those people get stronger as they go along, until each of them appears in Zion, where God lives.
