We are bound to thank God always for you, my brothers, as it is right, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each one of you abounds toward one another;

For this is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God for which you also suffer,

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

Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

Therefore, my brothers, stand fast and hold the teachings which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

Finally, my brothers, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it also is with you.

And pray that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all do not have the faith.

And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, mark that one and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

And may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

The greeting of Paul by my own hand which is the sign in every letter, so I write.
