Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

and to you which are troubled, rest with us; when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven, with his mighty angels,

which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

that ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, and be not troubled; neither by spirit, neither by words, nor yet by letter, which should seem to come from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, for because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifying of the spirit; And through believing the truth:

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men. For all men have not faith:

but the Lord is faithful, which shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

We require you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh inordinately, and not after the institution which ye received of us.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto the Thessalonians, Sent from Athens.}
