I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were given over,
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you,
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is only fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another increases all the more,
I am grateful to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I unceasingly remember you in my prayers night and day,
