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.
