7Therefore we were comforted, brothers and sisters, in you, in all our necessity and trouble, by your faith,

8Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.

9For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy with what we rejoice for you before our God,

10Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?

11Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

12And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in charity towards one another, and towards all men: as we do also towards you,

13To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.

12can number your wrath? So make your right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.

13Return, OH Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of your servants.

42Watch you therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come.

43But know this you, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.

44Therefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of Man will come.

45Who, thinkest you, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has appointed over his family, to give them food in season.

46Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.

47Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.

48But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:

49And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and shall eat and drink with drunkards:

50The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not, and at an hour that he knows not:

51And shall separate him, and appoint his share with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
