2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

1As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.

2And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.

3But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

4We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command.

5May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
