For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
