2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

We are indebted to always give thanks to GOD for you, brothers, loved by the LORD, because GOD chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the SPIRIT and belief in the truth. He called you through our gospel, to obtain the glory of our LORD, JESUS CHRIST. Therefore, brothers, stand firm, and hold onto the traditions we taught you both by word and by letter. Now may our LORD, JESUS CHRIST himself, and GOD, our FATHER, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
