“ Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
52:001:002 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
52:001:003 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
52:001:004 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
52:001:005 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in
power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye
know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. ”

“ God is witness:
52:002:006 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others,
when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
52:002:007 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her
children:
52:002:008 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to
have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also
our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
52:002:009 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for
labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable
unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. ”

“ And be at peace among yourselves.
52:005:014 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,
comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward
all men.
52:005:015 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever
follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all
men. ”
