But you, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> do not grow weary in doing what is right.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now regarding the arrival<n id="1" /> of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him,<n id="2" /> we ask you, brothers and sisters,<n id="3" />

Therefore, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> stand firm and hold on to the traditions that we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Finally, pray for us, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> that the Lord&#8217;s message<n id="2" /> may spread quickly and be honored<n id="3" /> as in fact it was among you,

<t /><p class="bodytext">We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> and rightly so,<n id="2" /> because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater.

<t /><p class="bodytext">But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters<n id="1" /> loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning<n id="2" /> for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

<t /><p class="bodytext">But we command you, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined<n id="2" /> life<n id="3" /> and not according to the tradition they<n id="4" /> received from us.
