1. Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also it was with you,
2. and that we may be delivered from evil and wicked people, for not all have the faith.
3. But the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
4. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are both doing and you will do the things that we are commanding.
5. Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.
6. But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who lives irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
