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

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, [from] a good conscience, and [from] sincere faith,

And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

As for the saints who [are] on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

For God [is] not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, [in that] you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God [must] love his brother also.
