2. We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers—continually
3. remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadiness of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
4. We know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that you are chosen,
5. because our Good News did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Ruach ha-Kodesh and with complete certainty—just as you know what kind of men we proved to be while among you for your sake.
