2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 NKJV


2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you. Brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning choose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

to which He called you by our gospel. for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast  and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Noway out Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and out Gos and Father, who has lovedus and given us everlasting consolation and God hope by grace,

comfort your gears and established you in every good word and work.

1 Peter 5:1-11 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed;

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock,

and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

casting all your care upon Him, for He cares fro you.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

But may the God of all grace, who called us, to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
