Brothers and sisters, pray for us too.

We thank God always for all of you as we mention you constantly in our prayers,

Now on the topic of times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.

He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him.

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

In this matter no one should violate the rights of his brother or take advantage of him, because the Lord is the avenger in all these cases, as we also told you earlier and warned you solemnly.

Now on the topic of brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope.

For people everywhere report how you welcomed us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
