First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for 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;
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:
