Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

incessantly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God even our Father;

and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.

For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Jesus Christ: because you suffered the same things from your fellow tribes, as they also from the Jews;

who even killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us, and are displeasing to God, and hostile to all men;

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing, except you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

But God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:

in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.

Finally therefore, brethren, we pray you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how it behooves you to walk about and to please God, as you do indeed walk about, in order that you may abound more and more.

For you know what promises we gave unto you through our Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and is risen, so also will God bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.

because God did not put us forth unto wrath, but unto the obtainment of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you.

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
