[3:1] Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you,
[3:2] and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.
[3:3] But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
[3:4] And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.
[3:5] May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
