I send Timothy, my beloved son faithful in the Lord, to you for this purpose. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ, just as I teach it in every congregation.

You will be saved through the good news if you hold fast to the word I preached to you. That way you will not believe in vain.

Keep

But as God has distributed to every person so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the congregations.

They were both righteous before God. They blamelessly obeyed all the commandments and ordinances of God (Greek: kurios: God).

Furthermore, we encourage you, brothers, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you ought to walk, and to please God, so you would abound more and more.

So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the precepts (Greek: paradosis: traditions of doctrines, teachings handed down) you were taught by word of mouth or by letter from us.

Our friends, we command you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to keep away from all believers who walk disorderly and who do not follow the instructions that we gave them.
