⁶ For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work ^[a]among you will complete it ^[b]by ^(A)the day of Christ Jesus.

²³ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your ^(C)spirit and soul and body be kept complete, ^(D)without blame at ^(E)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^24 (F)Faithful is He who ^(G)calls you, and He also will do it.
