Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:

To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you.

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

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle: so I write.
