Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of Elohim in truth:
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
For our good news came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
For this cause also thank we Elohim without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of Elohim which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of Yahweh, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
But we are bound to give thanks always to Elohim for you, brethren beloved of Yahweh, because Elohim hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of Elohim wherein ye stand.
