But we beseech of you, my brethren, as it regards the coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and our assemblage with him,

that they will believe the lie, and all of them will be judged who have not believed in the truth, but have had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But we are bound to give thanks unto Aloha at all time for you, our brethren, beloved in our Lord, because Aloha hath chosen you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and by the belief of the truth.

16 But our Lord Jeshu Meshiha himself, and Aloha our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, [fn] and a good hope through grace,

But the Lord is faithful, who will keep you and deliver you from evil.

But we confide concerning you in our Lord, that what we have commanded you, you have done,

But we command you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that you remove from every brother who walketh wickedly, and not according to the precepts which he hath received from us.

Neither did we eat bread for nothing from any one of you; but with labour and weariness by night and by day we wrought, that upon no one of you we might be burdensome.

Not because we had not power, but because in ourselves we would give you an example, that you may imitate us.

But these we command, and entreat of them by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that with quietness they work, and eat their (own) bread.

But you, my brethren, be not weary in doing what is good.

But the Lord of peace himself will give you peace always, in every thing. Our Lord be with you all.

5 But the end [fn] of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law [fn] converse in it;

knowing that against the righteous the law is not set, but against the evil, and rebels, and the wicked, and sinners, and the dishonest, and those who are not pure, and those who strike their fathers, and those who strike their mothers, and murderers,

who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.

But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.

16 But for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition [fn] for them who should believe in him unto everlasting life.
