so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;

an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

For which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and perfect [in you] all pleasure in goodness, and the work of faith, with power;

So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which ye were taught by us, whether by word, or by our letter.

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

Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; which is the token in every letter; so I write.
