1 Finally, brothers and sisters, pray that we spread the Lord’s word rapidly and that it will be honored the way it was among you.
2 Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone shares our faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you against the evil one.
4 The Lord gives us confidence that you are doing and will continue to do what we ordered you to do.
5 May the Lord direct your lives as you show God’s love and Christ’s endurance.
