| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. |

| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. |
