who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Whatever you are doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people,

For the one who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there are no exceptions.

Our dear friend Luke the physician and Demas greet you.

For you are our glory and joy!

that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor,

not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.

In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.

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

So then we must not sleep as the rest, but must stay alert and sober.

For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

and to esteem them most highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time.

Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.

Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior,
