1. Finally, brothers and sisters, pray that we spread the Lord’s word rapidly and that it will be honored the way it was among you.
2. Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone shares our faith.
3. But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you against the evil one.
4. The Lord gives us confidence that you are doing and will continue to do what we ordered you to do.
5. May the Lord direct your lives as you show God’s love and Christ’s endurance.
