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

A manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be accounted, worthy of the kingdom of God; for which also ye suffer.

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believe (now that our testimony was believed among you) in that day.

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

and our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind or terrified, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand.

Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, unless the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

And now ye know that which with-holdeth, that he may be revealed in his time.

For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only he that with-holdeth will with-hold, till he be taken out of the way.

And then will that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and destroy with the brightness of his coming:

And with all deceiveableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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

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

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions, which ye have been taught, whether by word, or by our Epistle.

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

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

Now such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, to work quietly and eat their own bread.

And ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means.

The Lord be with you all.

The Salutation of Paul, with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
