- have borne witness of thy charity

- whom
- Acts 15:3 ; 21:5 Romans 15:24 ; 2 Corinthians 1:16 ; Titus 3:13
- after a godly sort
- or, worthy of God.
- This is a literal and proper rendering of the original [axios
- tou
theos ;] by which the antecedent to the possessive pronoun his, in the next verse, becomes immediately apparent. "In a manner worthy of God, and of your relations and obligations to Him, and such as He can approve." 1 Thessalonians 2:12 - tou
- do well
