The Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and guard you from evil.
KJV1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 4And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 5And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
Paul’s follow-up letter: stay steady, keep working and trust the Lord’s faithfulness.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Living in God’s shelter means resting in His shadow: my refuge, my fortress.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
The Lord keeps your going out and your coming in, now and for evermore.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
God is a refuge and a very present help, right now, in this trouble.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
No weapon formed against God’s servants will finally prosper.
