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

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

and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;

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

Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him,

and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming;

whereunto he called you by our gospel, to 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 everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

Now such we charge 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.
