Paul, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you, and peace.

remembering, without ceasing, your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

and to wait for His Son from Heaven, Whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, Who delivers us from the coming wrath.

For ye, brethren, became imitators of the assemblies of God, that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because ye suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they also did from the Jews;

who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

to the end that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

Finally, then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God??ven as ye also are walking??hat ye abound more and more;

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

for, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those who fell asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

because God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

In everything give thanks; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.

And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
