For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

Keep

But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

And they were both righteous before God, walking blameless in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

For the rest, then, my brothers, we beseech you and exhort you in 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.

Therefore, my brothers, stand fast and hold the teachings which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the teaching which he received from us.
