so that we boast of you in the churches of God, of your patience and faith, in all your persecutions and the afflictions which you endure,

a token of the righteous judgment of God that you should be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,

For which also we pray always for you, that our God will account you worthy of the calling, and accomplish all the good pleasure of [his] goodness and the work of faith with power;

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

Therefore, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word or by our epistle;

And we charge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

The salutation by my hand, Paul's, which is [the] sign in every epistle; so I write.
