So that we ourselves glory of you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and sufferings which ye endure:

A manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be accounted, worthy of the kingdom of God; for which also ye suffer.

And now ye know that which with-holdeth, that he may be revealed in his time.

To which he hath 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 ye have been taught, whether by word, or by our Epistle.

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

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

The Salutation of Paul, with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
