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.

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,

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet him, I entreat you, brothers,

And now you know what is holding him back, to the end that he may be revealed in his appointed time.

Now we have fully fixed our faith on you in the Lord, that you are doing and will continue to do what we enjoin.

Now all such I command and entreat, by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to work in quietness. and to earn their own living.
