2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - Stand Firm And Hold Fast
13 As for you, my brethren, the favourites of the Lord, we are oblig'd to render perpetual thanks to God, for having chosen you from the beginning, in purifying you by his spirit, upon your believing the gospel. 14 to this he has called you, to a life of glory with our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 be stedfast therefore, and firmly maintain the doctrine I have delivered to you, either by word of mouth, or by my letter.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ, and God our father, who has loved us, and by his favour given us the advantageous hopes of eternal joys, consolate your souls, 17 and establish you in all sound doctrine and virtue.
