| May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ. | And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. |
| But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. | But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. |
|
| We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is only fitting, because your faith is increasing abundantly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another grows ever greater. | We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth. |
| Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all! | Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. |
| It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. | Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. | Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. |
