2 Thessalonians 2:15

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work will be rewarded.”

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may Yahweh do what seems good to him.”

We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong! Don’t be afraid! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. He will come and save you.

Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Be strong and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”

He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.”

Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”

“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.

Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you,

not to be quickly shaken in your mind, and not be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

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.

You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
