Paul, Silvanus and Timothy. Unto the congregation of the Thessalonians, which are in God our father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

in flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and to them that obey not unto the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in that we shall assemble unto him,

whereunto he called you by our gospel, to obtain the glory that cometh of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace,

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.

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

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