1 Finally, our friends, please pray for us. This will help the message about the Lord to spread quickly, and others will respect it, just as you do.
2 Pray that we may be kept safe from worthless and evil people. After all, not everyone has faith.
3 But the Lord can be trusted to make you strong and protect you from harm.
4 He has made us sure that you are obeying what we taught you and that you will keep on obeying.
