¹¹I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

²³let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

²¹For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

¹⁷that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

²³who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

³Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
