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

¹ Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly, and that it may be honored the way it is among you. ² Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone holds to the faith. ³ But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. ⁴ We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. ⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of the Messiah.
