2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.

¹⁵ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace,

¹⁶ Exhort your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word.

3 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may run, and may be glorified, even as among you;

² And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men; for all men have not faith.

³ But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.

⁴ And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.

⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.
