Thanksgiving

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
