always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from
the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief
in the truth. 2:14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that
you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2:15 So then,
brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by
us, either by word of mouth or by letter.
2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 2:17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. |
