2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - Stand Firm And Hold Fast
13 Now we are bound always to thank God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as the first to be reaped for salvation, by the consecration of your spirit and by faith in the Truth; 14 it was for this that he called you by our gospel, to gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Well then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the rules which you have learned from us orally or by letter.
16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 graciously encourage your hearts and strengthen them for all good in deed and word.
