14 God used our preaching as his way of inviting you to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 My friends, that's why you must remain faithful and follow closely what we taught you in person and by our letters.
16 God our Father loves us. He is kind and has given us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope. We pray that our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father
17 will encourage you and help you always to do and say the right thing.
