1Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, just as it has among you also.2And that we may be rescued from perverse and evil people, for not all have faith.3Yet the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.4We have confidence in the Lord concerning you that you are doing and will do what we command.5May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.
