This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

If any man does not obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
