And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and {in} all judgment; {judgment: or, sense}

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all {men}, even as we {do} toward you:

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but {this} one thing {I do}, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort {you} by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, {so} ye would abound more and more. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}

But grow in grace, and {in} the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him {be} glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love {which ye have} to all the saints,

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, {which is} your reasonable service.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort {you} by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, {so} ye would abound more and more. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. {comfort: or, exhort}

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for {your} food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.

So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
