I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.

Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.

Brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Hold on to what we taught you. We passed our teachings on to you by what we preached and wrote.

That’s the reason I have sent Timothy to you. He is like a son to me, and I love him. He is faithful in serving the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in serving Christ Jesus. And that agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

In the following matters, I don’t praise you. Your meetings do more harm than good.

Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? You are shaming those in the church who have nothing. Do you think so little of God’s church that you do this? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about the Lord’s Supper!

Because you believed the good news, you are saved. But you must hold firmly to the message I preached to you. If you don’t, you have believed it for nothing.

Brothers and sisters, here is a command we give you. We give it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep away from every believer who doesn’t want to work and makes trouble. Keep away from any believer who doesn’t live up to the teaching you received from us.

Now I want to talk about some other matters, brothers and sisters. We taught you how to live in a way that pleases God. In fact, that is how you are living. In the name of the Lord Jesus we ask and beg you to do it more and more.You know the directions we gave you. They were given by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

Both of them did what was right in the sight of God. They obeyed all the Lord’s commands and rules faithfully.

Her children stand up and call her blessed. Her husband also rises up, and he praises her.He says,“ Many women do excellent things. But you are better than all the others.”Charm can fool you. Beauty fades. But a woman who has respect for the Lord should be praised.Give her honor for all that her hands have done. Let everything she has done bring praise to her at the city gate.

But each believer should live in whatever situation the Lord has given them. Stay as you were when God chose you. That’s the rule all the churches must follow.

But Timothy has come to us from you just now. He has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have happy memories of us. He has also said that you desire to see us, just as we desire to see you.
