2 Thessalonians 2:16-3:5

American Standard Version

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is with you; ² and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith. ³ But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from ^[a]the evil one. ⁴ And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command. ⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the ^[b]patience of Christ.
