'Lord' in the Bible

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

Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men;

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

And the Lord give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

So that your hearts may be strong and free from all sin before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.

Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord.

For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;

And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
