grace unto you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels,

who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power:

that ye be not hastily agitated with apprehension, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by discourse, nor by letter, as coming from us, as though the day of the Lord was instantly approaching.

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath elected you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and faith in the truth:

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for there is not faith in all.

But the Lord is faithful, who will stablish you, and keep you from the wicked one.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly, and not according to the injunction which he hath received from us.
