Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Now I beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,

To which he hath called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God even our Father, who hath loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope thro' grace,

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

Now such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, to work quietly and eat their own bread.

The Salutation of Paul, with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
