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, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remembering your work of faith, and fatigue of love, and patience of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God and our Father;

And to wait for his Son from the heavens, whom be raised from the dead, Jesus, saving us from coming wrath.

For ye, brethren, were imitators of the churches of God being in Judea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things by your own race, as they also by the Jews:

They also having slain the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and having driven you out; and not pleasing God, and opposite to all men;

For what our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Are not also ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his arrival?

And God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you:

To make your hearts firm, complete in holiness before God, and our Father, in the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his holy ones.

Therefore as to the rest, brethren we ask you, and beseech in the Lord Jesus, as ye received from us how ye must walk and please God, that ye may more abound.

For ye know what orders we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also God by Jesus Christ will bring with him them having slept.

For God set us not for wrath, but for the acquisition of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

In every thing return thanks: for this the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

And the same God of peace consecrate you perfectly compete; and your whole spirit and soul and body be kept faultless to the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you. Amen.
