Stand

Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness,

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;

so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.

may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),

Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints,

but that which ye have -- hold ye, till I may come;

The liberty

For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.

And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty;

as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;

liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,
