so that we ourselves rejoice over you in the churches of God, on account of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which you endure;

the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed suffer:

when he may come to be glorified among his saints, and among all those who believe, to be wondered at in that day, because our testimony was believed by you.

Unto which indeed we are praying incessantly for you, in order that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and work of faith, with power;

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

that you be not suddenly shaken from your mind, nor disturbed, whether by a spirit, or through word, or a letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord has come.

the one opposing and exalting himself above everything that is called God or divinity; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself off that he is God.

Do you not remember that still being with you, I told you these things?

And now you know that which hinders, that he should be revealed in his time.

and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And on this account God sends to them the working of delusion, that they should believe a lie:

in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

Finally, brethren, pray for us in order that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, as even unto you:

and in order that we may be delivered from the ungodly and wicked men; for faith does not belong to all.

And we have trusted in the Lord in your behalf, that you are doing, and will do whatsoever we command.

And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks about disorderly, and not according to the teaching they received from us.

neither did we eat bread with any one gratuitously, but with labor and toil, night and day working, that we might not burden any one of you:

not because we have not the right, but in order that we may give ourselves an example to you, that you may imitate us.

For indeed when we were with you, we proclaimed this to you, that if any one does not wish to work, let him not eat.

For we hear that there are certain ones walking about among you disorderly, doing nothing, but they are busybodies:

but we command such and exhort them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietude working, they must eat their own bread.

But if any one does not obey our word through the epistle, note him; do not keep company with him; in order that he may be ashamed;
