Background on Pope Anterus

In his own words on 2 Thessalonians

  • 2 Thessalonians 2:15

    Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the tradition of the apostles and the apostolic seat, "that our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, may comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good work and word."

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:1

    "Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil."

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:4

    Confidence in the Lord touching you, brethren, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you."
