so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

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

that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived;

who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- the day doth not come.

Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, these things I said to you?

that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you,

and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith is not of all;

and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;

And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,
