We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

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

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
