“But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.”
Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your regard—things that accompany salvation — the author immediately softens the warning's blow: the severe language is pedagogical, not prescriptive. He is convinced of better things concerning the readers—their faith has demonstrated the fruit that marks genuine salvation.
