a proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye may be accounted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer;

who, indeed, shall pay a penalty, eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might,

when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at in all who believed (because our testimony to you was believed), 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 Lord Jesus Christ.

that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as that the day of the Lord has set in.

Let no one deceive you in any manner; because that day will not come, unless the falling away come first, and the man of lawlessness be revealed??he son of perdition;

And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth, and will bring to nought by the manifestation of His presence;

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

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

But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord; because God, from the beginning, chose you to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of truth;

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

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

nor did we eat any one's bread, gratuitously: but, in labor and toil, working night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you;

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

And, if anyone obey not our word through this letter, note this one, not to associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always, in every way. The Lord be with you all.

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