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.

For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.

You yourselves know, dear brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not a failure.

For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our visit with you was not without result.

For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our reception among you was not in vain,

For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:

For you yourselves know, brothers, that our visit with you was not without result.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, about our coming to you– it has not proven to be purposeless.

For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. (niv)

Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? (niv)

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. (niv)

I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you. (niv)

I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain. (niv)

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. (niv)

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them— yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (niv)

For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain. (niv)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (niv)

We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted 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 came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia— your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead— Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. (niv)

as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. (niv)

As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. (niv)

But I said,“ I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all. Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand, and my reward is with my God.” (niv)

They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them. (niv)

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. (niv)

Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence. (niv)

She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain, (niv)

on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. (niv)
