And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,

Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.

Now we desire each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the full assurance of your hope until the end,

And we desire that each one of you demonstrate the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

But Christ is faithful as the Son over the house of God. And we are his house if we hold tightly to what we are certain about. We must also hold tightly to the hope we boast in.

We belong to Christ if we hold tightly to the faith we had at first. But we must hold it tightly until the end.

My brothers and sisters, try very hard to show that God has appointed you to be saved. Try hard to show that he has chosen you. If you do everything I have just said, you will never trip and fall.

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth and a living hope. This hope is living because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you.Through faith you are kept safe by God’s power. Your salvation is going to be completed. It is ready to be shown to you in the last days.

My dear brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Don’t let anything move you. Always give yourselves completely to the work of the Lord. Because you belong to the Lord, you know that your work is not worthless.

Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory.And that’s not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on.The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope.And hope will never bring us shame. That’s because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. This happened through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Because of what Christ has done, you believe in God. It was God who raised him from the dead. And it was God who gave him glory. So your faith and hope are in God.

When God made his promise, he gave his word. He did this so we would have good reason not to give up. Instead, we have run to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope is set before us in God’s promise. So God made his promise and gave his word. These two things can’t change. He couldn’t lie about them.Our hope is certain. It is something for the soul to hold on to. It is strong and secure. It goes all the way into the Most Holy Room behind the curtain.That is where Jesus has gone. He went there to open the way ahead of us. He has become a high priest forever, just like Melchizedek.

So let us come near to God with a sincere heart. Let us come near boldly because of our faith. Our hearts have been sprinkled. Our minds have been cleansed from a sense of guilt. Our bodies have been washed with pure water.

So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge.To knowledge, add the ability to control yourselves. To the ability to control yourselves, add the strength to keep going. To the strength to keep going, add godliness.To godliness, add kindness for one another. And to kindness for one another, add love.All these things should describe you more and more. They will make you useful and fruitful as you know our Lord Jesus Christ better.

Your faith and love are based on the hope you have. What you hope for is stored up for you in heaven. You have already heard about it. You were told about it when the true message was given to you. I’m talking about the good news

Is it encouraging others? Then encourage them. Is it giving to others? Then give freely. Is it being a leader? Then work hard at it. Is it showing mercy? Then do it cheerfully.

Brothers and sisters, don’t ever get tired of doing what is good.

I pray that your love will grow more and more. And let it be based on knowledge and understanding.Then you will be able to know what is best. Then you will be pure and without blame for the day that Christ returns.You will be filled with the fruit of right living produced by Jesus Christ. All these things bring glory and praise to God.

Dear friends, I know you are looking forward to this. So try your best to be found pure and without blame. Be at peace with God.

That’s the hope we had when we were saved. But hope that can be seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?We hope for what we don’t have yet. So we are patient as we wait for it.

In fact, you do love all God’s family all around Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to love one another more and more.

The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.

So all of us who are grown up in the faith should see things this way. Maybe you think differently about something. But God will make it clear to you.

But the one who remains strong in the faith will be saved.

Doing what is right will bring peace and rest. When my people do that, they will stay calm and trust in the Lord forever.

‘ Here is what I will do for anyone who has victory over sin. I will do it for anyone who carries out my plans to the end. I will give that person authority over the nations.

Our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father loved us. By his grace God gave us comfort that will last forever. The hope he gave us is good. May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Fathercomfort your hearts. May they make you strong in every good thing you do and say.

May the God who gives hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in him. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.

Our good news didn’t come to you only in words. It came with power. It came with the Holy Spirit’s help. He gave us complete faith in what we were preaching. You know how we lived among you for your good.

But we long to be made completely holy because of our faith in Christ. Through the Holy Spirit we wait for this in hope.

Stay excited about your faith as you serve the Lord.When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful.

Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up.

My goal is that their hearts may be encouraged and strengthened. I want them to be joined together in love. Then their understanding will be rich and complete. They will know the mystery of God. That mystery is Christ.

Remember those earlier days after you received the light. You remained strong in a great battle that was full of suffering.Sometimes people spoke badly about you in front of others. Sometimes you were treated badly. At other times you stood side by side with people being treated like this.You suffered along with people in prison. When your property was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew that God had given you better and more lasting things.So don’t throw away your bold faith. It will bring you rich rewards.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.
