2 Thessalonians 3:1
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
