Thanksgiving and Prayer
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.
-
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
-
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
-
No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
-
not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Concluding Exhortations
Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
