1:6

They have testified to your love <3140 4675 26> [have borne witness of thy charity.]

<3739> [whom.]

worthy ... God <516 2316> [after a godly sort. or, worthy of God.]

This is a literal and proper rendering of the original [axios <\\See definition 516\\> tou <\\See definition 5120\\> theos <\\See definition 2316\\>;] by which the antecedent to the possessive pronoun his, in the next verse, becomes immediately apparent. "In a manner worthy of God, and of your relations and obligations to Him, and such as He can approve."

You will do well <2573 4160> [do well.]
