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

and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with the angels of his power,

who shall pay the penalty of everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might,

But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, that God has chosen you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith is not the portion of all.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep you from evil.

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

nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
