1 Thessalonians

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
