2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 - Paul's Prayer Request

¹ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified even as among you; ² and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for all have not the disposition for faith. ³ But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you, and keep you from the evil one. ⁴ And we have confidence in the Lord with respect to you, that you both do, and will continue to do, the things which we command you. ⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the patience of the Christ.
