Introduction: the eschatological book ends that drive Paul's practical teaching on holiness
Holiness is prefected when we abound in love, as we wait for the Lord to return for his holy ones
We are called and saved, not to uncleanness, but to holiness, knowing that our coming Lord is an avenger of those who are defrauded.
Holiness is quiet productivity, because the comfort of Christ's coming calms our restless minds.
