^23 (A)if indeed you continue in the faith, ^(B)stable and steadfast, not shifting from ^(C)the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed ^(D)in all creation^[a] under heaven, ^(E)and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

¹⁴ For we have come to share in Christ, ^(A)if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

⁶ but Christ is faithful over God's house as ^(A)a son. And ^(B)we are his house, if indeed we ^(C)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.^[a]

^13 (A)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom ^(B)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world ^(C)as a testimony ^(D)to all nations, and ^(E)then the end will come.

⁹ And ^(A)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, ^(B)if we do not give up.

^17 (A)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ^(B)rooted and ^(C)grounded in love,

⁵ because of ^(A)the hope ^(B)laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in ^(C)the word of the truth, the gospel, ⁶ which has come to you, as indeed ^(D)in the whole world it is ^(E)bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you ^(F)heard it and understood ^(G)the grace of God in truth,

^22 (A)strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them ^(B)to continue in ^(C)the faith, and saying that ^(D)through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
