a proof of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which also you are suffering,

for which [purpose] we also pray always for you, that you may be considered worthy of the calling of our God, and he might fulfill every desire for goodness and work of faith with power,

in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given [us] eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also [it was] with you,

and that we may be delivered from evil and wicked people, {for not all have the faith}.

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.

not that we do not have the right, but so that we may give ourselves [as] an example to you, so that [you] may imitate us.

But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note not to associate with him, in order that he may be put to shame.

Now may the Lord of peace himself grant you peace through everything in every way. [May] the Lord [be] with all of you.

The greeting [is] by my hand, Paul's, which is {a sign of genuineness} in every letter: {this is how I write}.
