And, unto you that are afflicted, release, with us, - by the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his messengers of power,

Who, indeed, a penalty, shall pay - age-abiding destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might -

That ye be not quickly tossed from your mind, nor be put in alarm - either by spirit, or by discourse, or by letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord, hath set in:

But, we, are bound to give thanks unto God continually concerning you, brethren beloved by the Lord, for that God chose you, from the beginning, unto salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth, -

Hence, then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye were taught - whether through discourse, or through our letter.

And that we may be rescued from the presuming and wicked men; for, not all, hold the faith.

Faithful, is the Lord, - who will confirm you, and guard you from the wicked one:

Howbeit, we charge you, brethren, - that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother - who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

Nor, as a free-gift, did eat, bread, from anyone, but, with toil and hardship, night and day, working, - that we might not burden any of you; -
