Disobedient Brothers
3 (A)Finally, brothers, (B)pray for us that (C)the word of the Lord will [a]spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; 2 and that we will be (D)rescued from [b]perverse and evil men, for not all have [c]faith. 3 But (E)the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen and guard you [d]from (F)the evil one. 4 And we have (G)confidence in the Lord about you, that you (H)are doing and will continue to do what we command. 5 And may the Lord (I)direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

An Example to Follow
3 Finally, brothers, pray for us—that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly, and that it may be honored the way it is among you. 2 Also pray[a] that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone holds to the faith.[b] 3 But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 4 We have confidence in the Lord[c] that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of the Messiah.[d]
