2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - Stand Firm And Hold Fast

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth; ¹⁴ whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which ye were taught by us, whether by word, or by our letter.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, our Father, who loved us, and gave us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.
