11. And for this cause God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12. That they all may be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13. But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth:
14. To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17. Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
