11 And for this reason Elohim sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood,
12 in order that all should be judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.
13 But we ought to give thanks to Elohim always for you, brothers, beloved by the Master, because Elohim from the beginning chose you to be saved – in set-apartness of Spirit, and belief in the truth –
14 unto which He called you by our Good News, for the obtaining of the esteem of our Master יהושע Messiah.
15 So, then, brothers, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or by our letter.
16 And our Master יהושע Messiah Himself, and our Elohim and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good expectation, through favour,
17 encourage your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
