And so all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.

But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.

It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.

But you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary in doing what is right.

But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.

Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
