PAUL’S MINISTRY TO THE THESSALONIANS

But we behaved gently when we were among you, like a devoted mother tenderly caring for her own children.

GREETINGS- THE THESSALONIANS’ FAITH AND EXAMPLE

We give thanks to God always for all of you, continually mentioning you in our prayers;
recalling unceasingly before our God and Father your work energized by faith, and your service motivated by love and unwavering hope in [the return of] our Lord Jesus Christ.

FINAL CHRISTIAN GREETINGS

When this letter has been read among you, see that it is read in the church of the Laodiceans; and also that you in turn read my letter [that is coming to you] from Laodicea.

FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON PRAYER AND DAILY LIVING

Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving.

RULES FOR CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLDS

Masters, [on your part] deal with your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. And, masters, remember your Master.

PUT ON THE NEW SELF-FULL OF LOVE, PEACE, AND PRAISE

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

SEEKING THE THINGS THAT ARE FROM ABOVE PUT ON THE NEW SELF

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

LET NO ONE DISQUALIFY YOU AVOIDING ERRORS

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

PAUL’S MINISTRY TO THE CHURCH ALIVE IN CHRIST

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
