Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,

and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.

that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand.

he that opposeth and exalteth himself above every one that is called God, or worthy of worship, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.

And now ye know what restraineth, in order that he may be revealed in his own time.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who now restraineth, until he be taken out of the way;

and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming;

and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which ye were taught by us, whether by word, or by our letter.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, as with you,

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for it is not all that have faith.

neither did we eat any mans bread for nought, but were working with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in welldoing.

And if any one obey not our word by this epistle, mark that man; and keep no company with him, that he may be shamed;

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way; the Lord be with you all.

The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; which is the token in every letter; so I write.

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