For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.

But we, brothers, who were orphaned from you for the time of an hour, in presence not in heart, hastened more earnestly to see your face, with much desire.

But now of Timothy, having come to us from you, and having proclaimed good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye always have a good recollection of us, longing to see us, just as we also you,

praying night and day above extraordinary in order to see your face and to mend the deficiencies of your faith?

so that ye may walk properly toward those outside, and may have nothing lacking.

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that ye may not grieve, as also the others who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also those who became asleep through Jesus, God will bring with him.

For this we say to you in the word of Lord, that we who are alive, who remain for the coming of the Lord, will no, not precede those who became asleep.

then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up simultaneously with them in clouds to the Lord's gathering in the air. And so we will always be with Lord.

For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction approaches them, as the woman having birth pangs in her womb, and they will, no, not escape.

But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief.

So then let us not sleep, as also the others, but let us watch and be sober.

So that, whether we are awake or sleep, we should live together with him.

See that not any man repays evil for evil to any man, but always pursue the good, both for each other and for all.
