11Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;
12that they all might be judged who didn`t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth;
14whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
16Now 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 you in every good work and word.
