and to reward with rest you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels,

And in view of this, we always pray for you that our God will consider you worthy of His calling, and will, by His power, fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith,

Don’t you remember that when I was still with you I told you about this?

For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

He called you to this through our gospel, so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In fact, when we were with you, this is what we commanded you: “If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”

And if anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person; don’t associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is a sign in every letter; this is how I write.
