constantly keeping in mind your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
