2 THESSALONIANS 1:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 3
“We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;”
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing — thanksgiving (eucharistia) is obligatory ('ought always') because the Thessalonians' faith exhibits exponential growth (auxanō, perisseuō). Love is not abstract but concrete, directed toward 'every one of you.'
