Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

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

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

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