At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:

Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
