2 Thessalonians 1:3

not boasting beyond our measure in other men’s labors, but having the hope—that as your faith grows—to be enlarged even more by you within our area of influence,

We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers;

and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you,

Finally then, brothers, we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.

Now we ask you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

But we should always give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
