2 THESSALONIANS 3:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 3
“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and guard you against the evil one — divine faithfulness (pistos) is the ground of confidence. Strengthening (strenyo, to establish) and protection (phylassō, to guard) against 'the evil one' (ponēros) are God's twofold gifts. Satan's schemes are thwarted by God's fidelity.
