I thank my God for every reminder of you.
But thanks be to God, for you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted,
I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which has been given to you through Jesus Christ.
For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
We are bound to thank God always for you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you abounds toward each other.
I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience as my forefathers did, as I continually remember you in my prayers night and day,
