For this is the will of God??ven your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

not in passion of desire, even as the gentiles, who know not God;

For God did not call us unto uncleanness, but in sanctification.

Therefore, indeed, he that rejects, rejects not man, but God, Who giveth His Holy Spirit to you.

But concerning brotherly love, ye have no need that one write to you; for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

and to make it your aim to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we charged you;

for, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those who fell asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

because the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven, with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

because God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

See that no one render to any one evil for evil; but always pursue that which is good, toward one another, and toward all.

In everything give thanks; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.

but prove all things, hold fast that which is good.

And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians, in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

grace to you, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith is growing exceedingly, and the love of each one of you abounds toward one another;

so that we ourselves glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which ye endure;

a proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye may be accounted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer;

since it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to those who cause you tribulation;

awarding vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus;

To which end we also pray for you always, that our God may account you worthy of your calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and work of faith, with power;

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

he that opposes himself against, and exalts himself above, all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, exhibiting himself as God.

And, for this cause, God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the lie;

But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord; because God, from the beginning, chose you to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of truth;

Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God our Father Who loved us and gave us eternal consolation and good hope in grace.

comfort your hearts, and establish, you in every good work and word.

And the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to a command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our Hope,

to Timothy, a true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.

nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies; which, indeed, occasion disputes rather than God's dispensation, which is in faith, so do I now.

But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and of faith unfeigned;

But we know that the law is good, if one use it lawfully;

according to the Gospel of the glory of the Blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

Now to the King of the ages, incorruptible, invisible, only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

holding faith, and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith;

for kings, and all who are in high position, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

For there is one God, one Mediator also between God and men, a Man, Christ Jesus,

but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works.

(but, if one knows not how to preside over his own house, how will he take care of an assembly of God?);

but, if I delay, that you may know how you ought to behave yourself in a house of God, which, indeed, is an assembly of the living God, a pillar and basis of the truth,

And, confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifested in flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth.

Because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, when it is received with thanksgiving;

for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

Suggesting these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching which you have strictly followed;

For to this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, Who is Savior of all men, especially of believers.

But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.

Now she that is really a widow, and left alone, has set her hope on God, and continues in supplications and prayers, night and day.

noted for good works; if she nourished children, if she used hospitality, if she washed the saints' feet, if she relieved those in tribulation, if she diligently followed every good work.

I solemnly charge you before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

In like manner also the works that are good are openly manifest; and those that are otherwise can not be hid.

Let as many as are slaves under a yoke account their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed.

But do you, O man of God, flee these things: but pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, mildness.

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the eternal life, to which you were called, and confessed a good confession before many witnesses.

I charge you before God who preserves alive all things, and Christ Jesus Who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession,

Charge those who are rich in this present age, not to be high-minded, nor to have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, Who giveth us richly all things for enjoyment;

that they do good, that they be rich in good works, free to impart, liberal;

treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on that which is really life.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, a beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank God, Whom I serve from my forefathers, in a pure conscience, that I have an unceasing remembrance of you in my supplications night and day;

For which cause, I put you in remembrance that you stir into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of hands.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and sobriety.

Be not ashamed, therefore, of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner; but suffer hardship with me for the Gospel, according to the power of God,

The good deposit guard through the Holy Spirit Who dwelleth in us.

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

wherein I am suffering hardship, even to bonds, as a malefactor; but the Word of God has not become bound.

Of these things put them in remembrance, solemnly charging them before God, that they engage not in word-battles to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

Give diligence to present yourself approved to God, a workman not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God has been standing, having this seal, "The Lord knew those who are His:" and "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

If, therefore, one fully purify himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work.

in meekness correcting those opposing themselves, if peradventure God should give them repentance to a full knowledge of the truth,

without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, intemperate, fierce, no lovers of good,

traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

Every Scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;

that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished for every good work.

I charge you before God, and Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom,

Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the full knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

upon hope of eternal life which God, Who cannot lie, promised before eternal times,

but in His own seasons manifested His word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

to Titus, a true child according to the common faith: grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain;

but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, righteous, pious, temperate;

They profess to know God; but by their works they deny Him; being abominable, and disobedient, and for every good work worthless.

that aged women, in like manner, be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

to be sober, pure, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity,

not keeping back anything, but showing forth all good faith; that they may adorn the teaching of our Savior God in all things.

For the salvation-imparting grace of God appeared to all men,

looking for the blissful hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a special people, zealous of good works.

Remind them to submit to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work;

But, when the kindness and the benevolence of God our Savior appeared,

Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I will that you affirm confidently, that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.

grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks to my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

that the fellowship of your faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.
