So that we ourselves boast in you in all the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your expulsions and pressures which ye endure:

(A proof of the just judgment of God,) for you to be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

For which also we pray always for you, that our God would deem you worthy of the calling, and fill all the benevolence of goodness, and work of faith in power:

Who being opposed and lifted up above all called God, or which is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

To which he called you by our good news, to the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brethren, stand, and hold firmly the doctrines which ye were taught, whether by the word, or by our epistle.

And we proclaim to you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you to shrink from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the doctrine which he received of us.

The greeting of Paul with my hand, which is the sign in every epistle: so I write.
