11 And ^afor this reason God will send them strong delusion, ^bthat they should believe the lie,

12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but ^ahad pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Fast

13 But we are¹ bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God ^afrom the beginning ^bchose you for salvation ^cthrough sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

15 Therefore, brethren, ^astand fast and hold ^bthe traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our¹ epistle.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, ^awho has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and ^bgood hope by grace,
