JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:
11 as ye know how we dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging you,
12 and charging you, to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews,
