We always have to thank God for you, brothers, as it is right that we should, because your faith is growing so wonderfully and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

when on that Day he comes to be honored in his people, and wondered at in all who believe in him??ecause our testimony has been confirmed in you.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in him, by the blessing of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

not to let your minds be too easily unsettled or wrought up, by any message of the Spirit or any utterance or letter purporting to be from me, to the effect that the Day of the Lord has already come.

You must not let anyone deceive you at all. For that is not until the rebellion takes place and the embodiment of disobedience makes his appearance??e who is doomed to destruction,

the adversary of every being that is called a god or an object of worship, and so overbearing toward them as to enter God's sanctuary and take his seat there, proclaiming himself to be God??5 do you not remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you this?

So now you know what it is that is holding him back from making his appearance before the appointed time arrives.

so that all who have refused to believe the truth but have preferred disobedience may be condemned.

and called you to it through our preaching of the good news, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

encourage you and strengthen you to do and say everything that is right.

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

and that we may be saved from unjust and wicked men; for not everybody has faith.

We have faith in you through the Lord that you are doing and will keep doing what we direct you to do.

Not that I had not a right to my support, but to give you in my own conduct an example to imitate.

For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.
