We do thankings to God evermore for all you, and we make mind of you in our prayers without ceasing [making mind of you in our prayers without ceasing];

so that ye be made ensample to all men that believe [so that ye be made form, or example, to all men believing], in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Which slew both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and pursued us, and they please not to God, and they be adversaries to all men;

therefore, brethren, we be comforted in you, in all our need and tribulation, by your faith.

For what doing of thankings be we able to yield to God for you [For why what doing of thankings may we yield to God for you], in all joy, in which we joy for you before our Lord?

And the Lord multiply you, and make your charity to be plenteous of each to other [and make your charity for to abound together], and into all men, as also we in you;

that your hearts be confirmed without plaint in holiness, before God and our Father, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. Amen.

And that no man over-go, neither deceive his brother, in chaffering. For the Lord is venger of all these things, as we before-said to you, and have witnessed.

[and] for ye do that into all brethren in all Macedonia. And, brethren, we pray you, that ye abound more;

For all ye be the sons of light, and sons of [the] day; we be not of night, neither of darknesses.

And, brethren, we pray you, reprove unpeaceable men [reprove ye, or chastise, unquiet men]. Comfort ye men of little heart, receive ye frail men [receive ye sick men], be ye patient to all men.

See ye, that no man yield evil for evil to any man; but evermore follow ye that that is good, each to other and to all men [but evermore follow ye that that is good, together and into all men].

in all things do ye thankings. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus, in all you.

But prove ye all things, and hold ye that thing that is good. [But prove ye all things, hold ye that thing that is good.]

Abstain you from all evil species. [Abstain ye you from all evil species, or likeness.]

And God himself of peace make you holy by all things, that your spirit be kept whole, and soul, and body, without plaint, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Greet ye well all brethren in holy kiss.

I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all holy brethren.
