13 ^xBe watchful, ^ystand firm in the faith, act like men, ^zbe strong.

Christ Has Set Us Free

1 For freedom Christ has set us ^tfree; ^ustand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a ^vyoke of ^wslavery.

27 Only ^klet your manner of life be worthy¹ of the gospel of Christ, so that ^lwhether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are ^mstanding firm in one spirit, ⁿwith one mind ^ostriving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

1 Therefore, my brothers,¹ whom I love and long for, my ^ljoy and crown, ^mstand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

15 So then, brothers, ^ostand firm and hold to the ^ptraditions that you were taught by us, ^qeither by our spoken word or by our letter.

Final Greetings

12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
