He bids them to hold\u003cbr\u003efirm the traditions received from him, whether by word, or by epistle,\u003cbr\u003eand shews them how they may be certain of his letters by the manner he\u003cbr\u003ewrites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Thessalonians Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe gives thanks to God for their faith and constancy and prays for their\u003cbr\u003eadvancement in all good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1.
