Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.

For ye, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also they of the Jews,

who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and are against all men,

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? are not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

But our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

For ye know what charges we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;

Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
