2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

New International Version

Stand Firm

¹³But we ought always to thank God for you,^(A) brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits^[a]^(B) to be saved^(C) through the sanctifying work of the Spirit^(D) and through belief in the truth. ¹⁴He called you^(E) to this through our gospel,^(F) that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm^(G) and hold fast to the teachings^[b] we passed on to you,^(H) whether by word of mouth or by letter.

¹⁶May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,^(I) who loved us^(J) and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, ¹⁷encourage^(K) your hearts and strengthen^(L) you in every good deed and word.

New International Version

²³“Oh, that my words were recorded,
    that they were written on a scroll,^(A)
²⁴that they were inscribed with an iron tool^(B) on^[a] lead,
    or engraved in rock forever!^(C)
²⁵I know that my redeemer^[b]^(D) lives,^(E)
    and that in the end he will stand on the earth.^[c]
²⁶And after my skin has been destroyed,
    yet^[d] in^[e] my flesh I will see God;^(F)
²⁷I myself will see him
    with my own eyes^(G)—I, and not another.
    How my heart yearns^(H) within me!
