'God' in the Bible

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,

remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.

but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.

For we have not at any time been among you with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God is witness;

Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.

Ye are witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:

that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.

And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received the word of the report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.

For ye, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also they of the Jews,

who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and are against all men,

and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman under God in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage you concerning your faith,

For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before our God,

But our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

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

(not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)

For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

He therefore that in this disregards his brother, disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you.

Now concerning brotherly love ye have no need that we should write to you, for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;

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