that all may be condemned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for all have not the disposition for faith.

And we have confidence in the Lord with respect to you, that you both do, and will continue to do, the things which we command you.

this we did, not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves to you as an example, in order that you might imitate us.
