so that we ourselves glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which ye endure;

a proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye may be accounted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer;

To which end we also pray for you always, that our God may account you worthy of your calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and work of faith, with power;

unto which He called you through our Gospel, to an obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So, then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the instructions which ye were taught, whether through speech, or through letter of ours.

And we have become confident in the Lord regarding you, that ye both do, and will do, the things which we command.

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

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