For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;
and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith is not the portion of all.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep you from evil.
But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.
But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.
