| The Second Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians. |
 |
I. 01 PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus the Messiah: 02 Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah. 03 We are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren, as it is proper; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and, in you all, the love of each for his fellow increaseth. 04 Insomuch that we also boast of you in the churches of God, on account of your faith, and your patience in all the persecution and trials that ye endure; 05 for a demonstration of the righteous judgment of God; that ye may be worthy of his kingdom, on account of which ye suffer. 06 And since it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense trouble to them that trouble you: 07 and you, who are the troubled, he will vivify, with us, at the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah from heaven, with the host of his angels; 08 when he will execute vengeance, with the burning of fire, on them that know not God, and on them that acknowledge not the gospel of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. 09 For these will be recompensed with the judgment of eternal destruction, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to display his wonders in his faithful ones; for our testimony concerning you, will be believed, in that day. 11 Therefore we pray for you, at all times; that God would make you worthy of your calling, and would fill you with all readiness for good deeds, and with the works of faith by power; 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, may be glorified in you, (and) ye also in him; according to the grace of God, and of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. II. 01 But we entreat of you, my brethren, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and in respect to our being congregated unto him, 02 that ye be not soon agitated in your mind, nor be troubled, neither by word, nor by spirit, nor by letter, as coming from us, that lo, the day of our Lord is at hand. 03 Let no one deceive you in any way; because [that day will not come], unless there previously come a defection, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 04 who is an opposer, and exalteth himself above all that is called God and Worshipful; so that he also sitteth in the temple of God, as a God, and displayeth himself, as if he were God. 05 Do ye not remember, that, when I was with you, I told you these things ? 06 And now, ye know what hindereth his being manifested in his time. 07 For the mystery of the evil One already beginneth to be operative: and only, if that which now hindereth shall be taken from the midst; 08 then at length will that evil One be revealed; whom our Lord Jesus will consume by the breath of his mouth, and will bring to naught by the visibility of his advent. 09 For the coming of that [evil One], is the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity, in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, by which they might have life. 11 Therefore God will send upon them the operation of deception, that they may believe a lie; 12 and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity. 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren beloved of our Lord, that God hath from the beginning chosen you unto life, through sanctification of the Spirit, and through faith in the truth. 14 For unto these it was, that God called you by our preaching; that ye might be the glory to our Lord Jesus the Messiah. 15 Therefore, my brethren, be established, and persevere in the precepts which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our epistle. 16 And may our Lord Jesus the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and a good hope through his grace, 17 comfort your hearts, and establish [you] in every good word, and in every good work. III. 01 Henceforth, brethren, pray ye for us, that the word of our Lord may, in every place, run and be glorified, as with you; 02 and that we may be delivered from evil and perverse men; for faith is not in all. 03 And faithful is the Lord, who will keep you and rescue you from the evil One. 04 And we have confidence in you, through our Lord, that what we have inculcated on you, ye both have done, and will do. 05 And may our Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to a patient waiting for the Messiah. 06 And we enjoin upon you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, that ye withdraw from every brother who walketh wickedly, and not according to the precepts which ye received from us. 07 For ye know how ye ought to imitate us, who did not walk wickedly among you. 08 Neither did we eat bread gratuitously from any of you; but, with toil and weariness, we labored by night and by day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you. 09 It was not because we have no authority, but that we might give you an example in ourselves, that ye might imitate us. 10 And while we were with you, we also gave you this precept, That every one who would not work, should likewise not eat. 11 For we hear, there are some among you who walk wickedly, and do nothing except vain things. 12 Now such persons, we command and exhort, by our Lord Jesus the Messiah, that in quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13 And my brethren, let it not be wearisome to you, to do what is good. 14 And if any one hearkeneth not to these [my] words in this epistle, separate that man from you, and have no intimacy with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet, hold him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 16 And may the Lord of peace give you peace, always, in every thing. Our Lord be with you all. 17 The salutation in the writing of my own hand, I Paul have written it; which is the token in all my epistles, so I write. 18 The grace of Jesus the Messiah be with you all, my brethren. Amen. End of the second Epistle to the Thessalonians; which was written from Laodicea of Pisidia, and was sent by the hands of Tychicus. |
