19 For what is our ^ehope or ^fjoy or crown of ^gboasting before our Lord Jesus at his ^hcoming? Is it not you?

13 so that ^xhe may ^yestablish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the ^zcoming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,¹ that ^xwe who are alive, who are left until the ^ycoming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

23 Now may the God of peace himself ^jsanctify you completely, and may your ^kwhole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the ^lcoming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
