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

and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power

Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

for ye not to be quickly shaken from your mind, nor to be alarmed, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by a letter as by us, as that the day of the Christ has come.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he who restrains it until now will develop from the midst.

But we are indebted to express thanks to God always about you, brothers, beloved by Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth,

So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that ye were taught, whether by word or by letter from us.

and that we may be delivered from aberrant and wicked men, for the faith is not of all men.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and will keep you from evil.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition, which they received from us.

nor did we eat bread gratis from any man, but in labor and toil, working night and day in order not to burden any of you.
