2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - Stand Firm And Hold Fast
13 But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers [dearly] loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you [as] first fruits for salvation by the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth, 14 for which [purpose] he called you through our gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions which you were taught, whether by [spoken] word or by letter from us.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given [us] eternal encouragement and good hope by grace, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen [you] in every good work and word.
