Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, Grace be unto you and Peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remembring without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father:

to serve the living and true God, And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he hath raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God in Christ Jesus, which are in Judea; for ye also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they likewise from the Jews:

Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us: and they please not God, and are contrary to all men.

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

Now our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way unto you.

That he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness (before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ) with all his saints.

It remaineth then, brethren, that we beseech and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye abound therein more and more.

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

For if we believe, that Jesus died and rose again, so will God bring with him those also that sleep in Christ.

but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we may live together with him.

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
