that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.

Therefore, my brothers, stand fast and hold the teachings which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Finally, my brothers, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it also is with you.

And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, mark that one and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
