Thessalonians |
1:1: Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto
the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: |
1:2: Grace unto you, and peace, from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
1:3: We are bound to thank God always for
you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly,
and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; |
1:4: So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and
tribulations that ye endure: |
1:5: Which is a manifest token of the
righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the |
1:6: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God
to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; |
1:7: And to you who are troubled rest with
us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, |
1:8: In flaming fire taking vengeance on them
that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: |
1:9: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; |
|
|
|
2:1: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, |
2:2: That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or
be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as
that the day of Christ is at hand. |
2:3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for
that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man
of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; |
2:4: Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in
the |
2:5: Remember ye not, that, when I was yet
with you, I told you these things? |
2:6: And now ye know what withholdeth that he
might be revealed in his time. |
2:7: For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. |
2:8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy
with the brightness of his coming: |
2:9: Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, |

3:1: Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the
word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with
you: |
3:2: And that we may be delivered from
unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. |
3:3: But the Lord is faithful, who shall
stablish you, and keep you from evil. |
3:4: And we have confidence in the Lord
touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. |
3:5: And the Lord direct your hearts into the
love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. |
3:6: Now 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 he received of us. |
3:7: For yourselves know how ye ought to
follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; |
3:8: Neither did we eat any man's bread for
nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not
be chargeable to any of you: |
3:9: Not because we have not power, but to
make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. |
3:10: For even when we were with you, this we
commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. |
