1. Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;
2. and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.
3. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
4. We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
5. May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love, and into the perseverance of Christ.
6. Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.
