1 Thessalonians

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
