14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14 This is the life of the Spirit he invited you to through the Message we delivered, in which you get in on the glory of our Master, Jesus Christ.
14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Commentary on 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15
(Read 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15)
When we hear of the apostacy of many, it is a great comfort and joy, that there is a remnant according to the election of grace, which does and shall persevere; especially we should rejoice, if we have reason to hope that we are of that number. The preservation of the saints, is because God loved them with an everlasting love, from the beginning of the world. The end and the means must not be separated. Faith and holiness must be joined together as well as holiness and happiness. The outward call of God is by the gospel; and this is rendered effectual by the inward working of the Spirit. The belief of the truth brings the sinner to rely on Christ, and so to love and obey him; it is sealed by the Holy Spirit upon his heart. We have no certain proof of any thing having been delivered by the apostles, more than what we find contained in the Holy Scriptures. Let us then stand fast in the doctrines taught by the apostles, and reject all additions, and vain traditions.
