PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:

grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

and to you that are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels,

in flaming fire, to take vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

But, we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of; our Lord Jesus Christ, and our coming together to him,

and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth, and will utterly over throw by the brightness of his coming:

"to which he called you by our gospel, in order that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace,

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

Now we command such, and exhort them by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their own bread.

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