BLB(i)
2 We give thanks to God always concerning all of you, making mention in our prayers,
3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and unceasing labor of love, and the endurance of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 knowing, brothers beloved by God, your election,
5 because our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit, and with much full assurance, just as you know what we were among you on account of you.
