They are an evidence of the righteous judgment of God, who will count you worthy of his kingdom, in behalf of which you are even now suffering.

Since God deems it just to inflict suffering upon those who are now inflicting suffering upon you,

and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believe (now that our testimony was believed among you) in that day.

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

Now we are bound always to thank God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as the first to be reaped for salvation, by the consecration of your spirit and by faith in the Truth;

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

Now, brothers, pray for us, that the Lord's message may spread rapidly and gloriously as it did among you,

We have confidence in you through the Lord that you are now practicing the directions which we give you and that you will continue to do so.

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

now being inform'd, that there are among you people of an irregular conduct, who neglect their own business, and busy themselves with the affairs of others:

Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
