For this cause also thanke wee God without ceasing, because when yee receiued the word of God, which yee heard of vs, yee receiued it not as the word of men, but (as it is in trueth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that beleeue.

Who both killed the Lord Iesus, and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs: and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

1611 marginal noteOr, chased vs out.

Forbidding vs to speake to the Gentiles, that they might bee saued, to fill vp their sinnes alway: for the wrath is come vpon them to the vttermost.

Wherefore we would haue come vnto you (euen I Paul) once & againe: but Satan hindered vs.

But now when Timotheus came from you vnto vs, and brought vs good tidings of your faith and charitie, and that ye haue good remembrance of vs alwayes, desiring greatly to see vs, as we also to see you:

¶ Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Iesus, that as yee haue receiued of vs, how ye ought to walke, and to please God, so yee would abound more and more.

1611 marginal noteOr, beseech

For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also giuen vnto vs his holy Spirit.

1611 marginal noteOr, reiecteth.

Therefore let vs not sleepe, as doe others: but let vs watch and be sober.

But let vs who are of the day, bee sober, putting on the brestplate of faith and loue, and for an helmet, the hope of saluation.
