We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds;

Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because it will not be unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.

For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;
