grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

and to you that are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels,

these shall suffer punishment in that day, even eternal destruction, far from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

that you be not hastily shaken from the persuasion of your mind, nor be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by report, nor by letter as written by us, as though the day of the Lord is at hand.

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God did, from the beginning, choose you to salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth,

and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for all have not the disposition for faith.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you, and keep you from the evil one.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
