58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast,+ immovable, always having plenty to do+ in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain*+ in connection with the Lord.

13 Stay awake,+ stand firm in the faith,+ carry on in a manly way,+ grow mighty.*+

13 For this reason take up the complete suit of armor from God,+ so that you may be able to resist* in the wicked day and, after you have accomplished everything, to stand firm.

14 Stand firm, therefore, with the belt of truth fastened around your waist,+ wearing the breastplate of righteousness,+

4 Consequently, my brothers whom I love and long for, my joy and crown,+ stand firm+ in this way in the Lord, my beloved ones.
