Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as among you:

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all men have not faith.

For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you,

Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but wrought with labour and toil, night and day, that we might not burden any of you.

For when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.

For we hear there are some among you who walk disorderly, doing nothing, but being busy-bodies.

Yet for this cause I obtained mercy, that on me the chief Jesus Christ might shew all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting.

Now to the king of eternity, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever, Amen.

I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men:

For kings and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men,

the man Christ Jesus, Who gave himself a ransom for all,

For I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?

For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree and much boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving.

For it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

For bodily exercise profiteth a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the present life, and of that which is to come.
