And whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

and also Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved to be a comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is one of your number, a servant of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace and peace to you.

remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men,

For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

so that he may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

Finally, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

For God has not destined us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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

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

and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

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

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

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

He called you to this through our gospel, that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and earn their own bread to eat.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

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

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.

and the grace of our Lord was overflowing for me, with the faith and love that are found in Christ Jesus.

It is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinnersof whom I am the foremost.

But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

If you point out these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

I charge you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, doing nothing out of favoritism.

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

to keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

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

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

Follow the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Share in hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David according to my gospel,

Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth which leads to godliness,

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

looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

whom he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,

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

because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,

yet for love's sake I rather appeal to yousince I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly fear.

where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to sanctify the people through his own blood.

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant,

equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: greetings.

My brethren, show no favoritism as you hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen exiles in the Dispersion, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling with his blood: may grace and peace be yours in abundance.

Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober in spirit, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

And corresponding to that, baptism now saves younot the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good consciencethrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

so there will be an entrance richly provided for you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

since I know that the putting aside of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
