⁸ Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ So that your hearts may be strong and free from all sin before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

⁶ For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

²³ And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁴ God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

²² In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:

³ But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to give you a place in his glory, free from all evil, with great joy,

²⁵ To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us give glory and honour and authority and power, before all time and now and for ever. So be it.

¹⁵ So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁶ Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

²⁷ And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

¹⁰ And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

¹⁰ So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;

²¹ Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

¹⁴ Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

²⁸ For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

²⁴ For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

⁴ Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

⁵ That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up.

¹⁴ For this reason, my loved ones, as you are looking for these things, take great care that when he comes you may be in peace before him, free from sin and every evil thing.

¹⁷ For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.
