When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

that you be not soon shaken in mind, nor terrified, neither by a spirit, nor by a discourse, nor by an epistle as from us, as though the day of the Lord was at hand.

the adversary of every being that is called a god or an object of worship, and so overbearing toward them as to enter God's sanctuary and take his seat there, proclaiming himself to be God??5 do you not remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you this?

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

It was to this end that He called you through our gospel [the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection], so that you may obtain and share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also [it was] with you,

And may the Lord direct your hearts to love [people] as God does, and to be steadfast as Christ was.

For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

not because we do not have a right to such support, but [we provided our own financial support] to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.

Indeed, when we were with you, what we urged upon you was-- 'If a man does not choose to work, then he shall not eat.'
