2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

2 It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.

2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

2 And you are being saved by it if you continue believing what I told you. If you do not, then you believed for nothing.

2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.

2 by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.

2 In addition, you are saved by this Good News if you hold on to the doctrine I taught you, unless you believed it without thinking it over.

2 You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you—unless you believed for no purpose.

2 through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe in vain.

2 by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose.

2 Because you believed the good news, you are saved. But you must hold firmly to the message I preached to you. If you don’t, you have believed it for nothing.

2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
