It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

Which is a clear sign of the decision which God in his righteousness has made; to give you a part in his kingdom, for which you have undergone this pain;

For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:

But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

So then, brothers, be strong in purpose, and keep the teaching which has been given to you by word or by letter from us.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

Give you comfort and strength in every good work and word.

But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.

Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.
