- May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ.
- However, the Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
- Brethren, we must always give thanks to God for you, and it is only right that we do so. For your faith grows ever more, and the love that all of you have for one another continues to increase.
- May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
- It was for this purpose that he called you through our gospel so that you might come to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
