2:13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

2:14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2:15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

2:16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

2:17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

3:1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

3:2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

3:3But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

3:4And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

3:5And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

14And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

15But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

16And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

17But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

18If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

19And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

20But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

21When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

22But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

23He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
