2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

13But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

14To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.

16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

17comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
