1:1Paul,
and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; 1:2Grace to you and peace from God the
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3We are bound to give thanks to God
always to you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith growth
exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another
aboundeth; 1:4so that we ourselves glory in you in
the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions
and in the afflictions which ye endure; 1:5which is a manifest token of
the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of
the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 1:6if so be that it is righteous thing
with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, 1:7and to you that
are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from
heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, 1:8rendering
vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel
of our Lord Jesus: 1:9who shall suffer punishment,
even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the
glory of his might, 1:10when he shall come to be glorified in
his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our
testimony unto you was believed) in that day. 1:11To which end we also pray always for
you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every
desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power; 1:12that the name
of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the
grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2:1Now we
beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
our gathering together unto him; 2:2to the end that ye be not quickly
shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word,
or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;
2:3let no man
beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling
away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
2:4he that
opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is
worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth
as God. 2:5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet
with you, I told you these things? 2:6And now ye know that which
restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 2:7For the mystery
of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that
restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. 2:8And then shall
be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the
breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his
coming; 2:9even he, whose coming is
according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying
wonders, 2:10and with all deceit of
unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love
of the truth, that they might be saved. 2:11And for this cause God sendeth them a
working of error, that they should believe a lie: 2:12that they all
might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness. 2:13But we are bound to give thanks to
God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you
from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and
belief of the truth: 2:14whereunto he called you through our
gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2:15So then,
brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught,
whether by word, or by epistle of ours. 2:16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself,
and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope
through grace, 2:17comfort your hearts and establish
them in every good work and word.
3:1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that
the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is
with you; 3:2and that we may be delivered from
unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith. 3:3But the Lord is
faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
3:4And we
have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the
things which we command. 3:5And the Lord direct your hearts into
the love of God, and into the patience of Christ. 3:6Now we command
you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw
yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the
tradition which they received of us. 3:7For yourselves know how ye ought to
imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 3:8neither did we
eat bread for nought at any man's hand, but in labor and travail, working
night and day, that we might not burden any of you: 3:9not because we
have not the right, but to make ourselves and ensample unto you, that ye
should imitate us. 3:10For even when we were with you, this
we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat. 3:11For we hear of
some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are
busybodies. 3:12Now them that are such we command and
exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat
their own bread. 3:13But ye, brethren, be not weary in
well-doing. 3:14And if any man obeyeth not our word
by this epistle, note that man, that ye have no company with him, to the
end that he may be ashamed. 3:15And yet count him not as an
enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 3:16Now the Lord of peace himself give
you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all. 3:17The salutation
of me Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I
write. 3:18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with you all.
