You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results.

Brothers and sisters, you know that our visit to you produced results.

In addition, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you,

Is it not from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor only to fuel the fire and countries exhaust themselves for nothing?

Unless the LORD builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the LORD watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain.

I am fearful for you, that perhaps my labor for you has been wasted.

I went up according to a revelation and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those recognized as leaders. I wanted to be sure I was not running, and had not been running, in vain.

and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you— unless you believed in vain.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

For this reason, when I could no longer stand it, I also sent him to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that our labor might be for nothing.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

We recall, in the presence of our God and Father, your work produced by faith, your labor motivated by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you,because our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with full assurance. You know how we lived among you for your benefit,and you yourselves became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message with joy from the Holy Spirit.As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.For the word of the Lord rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything,for they themselves report what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true Godand to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead— Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

by holding firm to the word of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.

Working together with him, we also appeal to you,“ Don’t receive the grace of God in vain.”

But I myself said: I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and futility; yet my vindication is with the LORD, and my reward is with my God.

They will not labor without success or bear children destined for disaster, for they will be a people blessed by the LORD along with their descendants.

This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also works effectively in you who believe.

Did I purify my heart and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?

She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own, with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.

on that day when he comes to be glorified by his saints and to be marveled at by all those who have believed, because our testimony among you was believed.
