threaten to destroy us whether it be:

forewarned, be on your guard so
that you may not be carried away by
the error of the lawless and fall from
your secure position.”

2. STAND
z FIRM.
In what we believed–that is, the gospel that we
had been taught in the beginning, the gospel
that had brought us salvation.

then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery.”

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand
firm. Let nothing move you. Always give
yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord is
not in vain.”
