For who is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not of course you?

For how can we thank God enough for you, for all the joy we feel because of you before our God?

because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

so that your hearts are strengthened in holiness to be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
