First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord your God for us, and He shall save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will serve the Lord, and show you the good and the right way.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

always in every prayer of mine in behalf of you all, with joy,

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Pray without ceasing!

We are obligated to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, [and] rightfully so, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all increases towards one another,

But remember me when it is well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharaoh, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.

And on your walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

We give thanks to God always concerning you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
