¹⁴ just as you did ^(A)partially understand us—that ^(B)on the day of our Lord Jesus ^(C)you will boast of us as ^(D)we will boast of you.

¹⁹ For what is our hope or ^(A)joy or crown of boasting ^(B)before our Lord Jesus at his ^(C)coming? Is it not you? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.

¹⁶ holding fast to ^(A)the word of life, so that in ^(B)the day of Christ ^(C)I may be proud that ^(D)I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

^8 (A)who will sustain you to the end, ^(B)guiltless ^(C)in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ so that he may ^(A)establish your hearts blameless in holiness before ^(B)our God and Father, at ^(C)the coming of our Lord Jesus ^(D)with all his saints.

4 Therefore, my brothers,^[a] whom I love and ^(A)long for, ^(B)my joy and ^(C)crown, ^(D)stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

¹⁰ so that you may approve what is excellent, ^(A)and so be pure and blameless ^(B)for the day of Christ,

²³ Now may ^(A)the God of peace himself ^(B)sanctify you completely, and may your ^(C)whole ^(D)spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at ^(E)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began ^(A)a good work in you ^(B)will bring it to completion at ^(C)the day of Jesus Christ.
