2 Thessalonians 2:13-15

American Standard Version

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you ^[a]from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and ^[b]belief of the truth: ¹⁴ whereunto he called you through our ^[c]gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.
