15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
15
So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 Now 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,
16
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
17
encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
