1 Thess 3:11-13 ?

"Establish your hearts" (sterixai tas kardias) echoes the Septuagint's description of the righteous whose "heart is established/steadfast," unafraid. The image of an inwardly fixed, unshakable heart underlies Paul's prayer for hearts confirmed in holiness.

2 Thess 2:16-17 ?

'His heart is established/steady' parallels the prayer that God 'establish your hearts.' A possible Septuagintal verbal echo (sterizo/heart).
