Literal According to Usage (II Thessalonians 3:1-5): "Now to wrap it all up, brethren, pray all the way around continually for us, in order that the whole gospel of the lord's return, which we have spoken or written to you, may run its course gloriously and triumph gloriously as it did and was among you. And that we may be snatched away from those we can't reason with from the Word, and who deliberately inflict pain on us; for all men absolutely do not believe the message of the return. But the Lord can be utterly relied upon to strengthen you to the end you do not vacillate, plus increasing your ability and capacity to full maturity, and protect you from all harm induced by the evil one, the Adversary. And we have been and are persuaded about you, that you will remain at rest in your heart in the Lord and that you are living and behaving and doing all and will continue to do all that which we lovingly requested you to do. And the Lord Jesus Christ, by what we have spoken and written, keep your hearts straight on course that you understand the love of God and just steadfastly, faithfully hang in there until Christ returns."

The full maturity of a believer is a continued process of development to the inclusiveness, to the end that our speech and our action is nothing but the Word.
