'Lord' in the Bible

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

In the presence of our God and Father, we constantly remember how your faith is active, your love is hard at work, and your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah is enduring.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord. In spite of a great deal of suffering, you welcomed the word with the joy that the Holy Spirit produces.

From you the word of the Lord has spread out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything about it.

who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, who have persecuted us, and who please neither God nor any group of people,

After all, who is our hope, joy, or reason for rejoicing in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? It is you, isn't it?

For now we can go on living, as long as you continue to stand firm in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father and our Lord Jesus provide a way for us to visit you.

May the Lord greatly increase your love for each other and for all people, just as we love you.

Then your hearts will be strong, blameless, and holy in the presence of God, who is our Father, when our Lord Jesus appears with all his saints.

Now then, brothers, you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, as in fact you are doing. We ask and encourage you in the Lord to do so even more.

You know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

Furthermore, you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard, because the Lord avenges all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

For we declare to you what the Lord has told us to say: We who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died.

With a shout of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of God's trumpet, the Lord himself will come down from heaven, and the dead who belong to the Messiah will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the Day of the Lord might surprise you like a thief.

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

Brothers, we ask you to show your appreciation for those who work among you, set an example for you in the Lord, and instruct you.

May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being spirit, soul, and body remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

I order you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with you! Amen.
