Second Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians One Paul, Sylvanus and Timothy to
-
the Church of the Thessalonians. In God our Father in
-
the Lord Jesus Christ, grace to you and peace from
-
God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,
-
as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly and
-
the love of every one of you for one another
-
is increasing. Therefore, we ourselves boast about you in the
-
Churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all
-
your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.
-
This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that
-
you may be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God,
-
for which you are also suffering, since indeed God considers
-
it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
-
and to grant relief to you who are afflicted, as
-
well as to us. When the Lord Jesus is revealed
-
from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting
-
vengeance on those who do not know God and on
-
those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus,
-
they will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from
-
the presence of the Lord and from the glory of
-
his might when he comes on that day, to be
-
glorified in his saints and to be marveled at among
-
all who have believed. Because our testimony to you was believed.
-
To this end. We always pray for you that Our
-
God may make you worthy of his calling, and may
-
fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith
-
by his power, so that the name of our Lord
-
Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him,
-
according to the grace of our God and the Lord
-
Jesus Christ.
-
Second Thessalonians two. Now, concerning the coming of our Lord
-
Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we
-
ask you brothers not to be quickly shaken in mind
-
or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word,
-
or a letter seeming to be from us, to the
-
effect that the day of the Lord has come.
-
Let no one deceive you in any way, for that
-
day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and
-
the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
-
who opposes and exalts himself against every so called God
-
or object of worship, so that he takes his seat
-
in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
-
Do you not remember that when I was still with you,
-
I told you these things. And you know what is
-
restraining him now, so that he may be revealed in
-
his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work.
-
Only he who now restrains it will do so until
-
he is out of the way, and then the lawless
-
one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill
-
with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing
-
by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the
-
lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all
-
power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked
-
deception for those who are perishing because they refuse to
-
love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends
-
them a strong delusion so that they may believe what
-
is false, in order that all may be condemned who
-
did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
-
But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,
-
beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the
-
first fruits to be saved through sanctification by the spirit
-
and belief in the truth. To this he called you
-
through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory
-
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
So, then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions
-
that you were taught by us, either by our spoken
-
word or by our letter. Now, may our Lord Jesus
-
Christ himself and God, our Father, who loved us and
-
gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort
-
your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
-
Second Thessalonians three.
-
Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the
-
Lord may speed ahead and be honored. Has happened among you,
-
and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men.
-
For not all have faith, but the Lord is faithful.
-
He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
-
And we have confidence in the Lord about you that
-
you are doing and will do the things that we command.
-
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of
-
God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
-
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our
-
Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother
-
who is walking in idleness and not in accord with
-
the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves
-
know how you ought to imitate us, Because we were
-
not idly when we were with you, nor did we
-
eat anyone's bread without paying for it. But with toil
-
and labor, we worked night and day that we might
-
not be a burden to any of you. It was
-
not because we do not have that right, but to
-
give you in ourselves an example to imitate. Even when
-
we were with you, we would give you this command.
-
If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat,
-
For we hear that some among you walk in idleness,
-
not busy at work, but busy bodies. Now such persons
-
we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to
-
do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
-
As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.
-
If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter,
-
take note of that person, and have nothing to do
-
with him, that he may be ashamed. Do not regard
-
him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
-
Now, may the Lord of Peace himself give you peace
-
at all times. In every way. The Lord be with
-
you all I Paul write this greeting with my own hand.
-
This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine.
-
It is the way I write. The grace of our
-
Lord Jesus Christ be with you all
