¹⁴ Through our gospel he called you to this so that you should claim as your own the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ Stand firm, then, brothers, and keep the traditions that we taught you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad! Let the sea thunder, and all it holds!

¹² Let the countryside exult, and all that is in it, and all the trees of the forest cry out for joy,
