so much so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which you endure.

For this is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God for which you also suffer,

to which He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my brothers, stand fast and hold the teachings which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

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

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the teaching which he received from us.

The greeting of Paul by my own hand which is the sign in every letter, so I write.
