We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, not doing any work at all, but acting like busybodies.
