PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

remembering unceasingly your work, which is the result of faith, your labor, the cause of which is love, and your patience, which springs from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father:

and to wait for his Son from heaven, even Jesus, whom he raised from the dead, and who delivers us from the coming wrath.

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

who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and do not please God, and are opposed to all men,

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? -You indeed are our glory and

Now, may God himself, even our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

in order that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness, in the presence of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Finally, then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you, by our Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to walk and please God, you would abound more and more.

For you know what commandments we gave you by our Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also should we believe that God will, through Jesus, bring with him those who sleep.

for God has not appointed us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

and to you that are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels,

in flaming fire, to take vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

But, we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of; our Lord Jesus Christ, and our coming together to him,

and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth, and will utterly over throw by the brightness of his coming:

"to which he called you by our gospel, in order that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace,

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

Now we command such, and exhort them by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their own bread.

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

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the appointment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

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

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry;

and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

But for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, for an example to those who might afterward believe on him in order to life eternal.

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

For those who have filled the office of a deacon well, gain for themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

By recommending these things to the attention of the brethren, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished with the words of the faith, and of good teaching, which you have fully known.

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

If any one teaches other things, and does not assent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching which is according to godliness,

I charge you, in the sight of God, who makes all things alive, and before Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, confessed a good confession,

that you keep this commandment, so that you may be spotless and blameless till the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

to Timothy my beloved son; grace, mercy, and peace from God our 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 grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus be fore the times of the ages,

but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power, and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel;

Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faithfulness and in love which is in Christ Jesus.

Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;

Do you, there fore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Remember that Jesus Christ, of the posterity of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel;

For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

and that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise in order to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus.

I charge you, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,

The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.

PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgement of the truth, which is according to godliness;

to Titus, my true son, according to the common faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

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

which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy my brother, to Philemon my beloved, and our fellow-laborer,

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

hearing of your love and your faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints,

that your participation in the faith may be active in the acknowledgment of every good thing that is in us, to the honor of Christ Jesus.

yet, on account of my love, I rather exhort you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner on account of Jesus Christ.

Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes you:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits. Amen.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, that he might, by the grace of God, taste death for every man- we see him, on account of his having suffered death, crowned with glory and honor.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

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

whither a forerunner for us has gone, even Jesus, who is made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

in so much has Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

By which will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

Having therefore, brethren, confidence to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

looking to Jesus the author and finisher of the faith, who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

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

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever.

Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.

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

perfect you in every good work, in order that you may do his will, working in you that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory from age to age. Amen.

JAMES, a servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, greeting.

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, so as to show a partiality for persons.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace be multiplied.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope

that your faith, when proved, being much more precious than gold, which perishes though it be tried by fire, may be found to be for praise and honor and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind; be watchful, and hope constantly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

you, also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, that you may offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

the likeness of which, even immersion, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking of a good conscience toward God,) does now also save us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man acts as a deacon, let him do this as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and strength from age to age. Amen.

But may the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, confirm you.

Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.

SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained faith, equally as precious as our own, in the plan of justification revealed by our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

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

For if these things be in you, and abound, they cause you to be neither idle, nor unfruitful as it respects the acknowledgment of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For thus will an entrance be given you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these, and overcome by them, the last state of such is worse than the first.

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

that which we have seen and heard, we declare it to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly 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 one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

My little children, I write these things to you, that you may not sin: and yet, if any one sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
