THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE
THESSALONIANS
12 Thessalonians1 1:1
Paul,
and
Silvanus,
and
Timothy,
unto
the
church
of
the
Thessalonians
in
God
our
Father
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
2 1:2
Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
God
the
Father
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
3 1:3
We
are
bound
to
give
thanks
to
God
always
for
you,
brethren,
even
as
it
is
meet,
for
that
your
faith
groweth
exceedingly,
and
the
love
of
each
one
of
you
all
toward
one
another
aboundeth;
4 1:4
so
that
we
ourselves
glory
in
you
in
the
churches
of
God
for
your
patience
and
faith
in
all
your
persecutions
and
in
the
afflictions
which
ye
endure;
5 1:5
which
is
a
manifest
token
of
the
righteous
judgment
of
God;
to
the
end
that
ye
may
be
counted
worthy
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
for
which
ye
also
suffer:
6 1:6
if
so
be
that
it
is
a
righteous
thing
with
God
to
recompense
affliction
to
them
that
afflict
you,
7 1:7
and
to
you
that
are
afflicted
rest
with
us,
at
the
revelation
of
the
Lord
Jesus
from
heaven
with
the
angels
of
his
power
in
flaming
fire,
8 1:8
rendering
vengeance
to
them
that
know
not
God,
and
to
them
that
obey
not
the
gospel
of
our
Lord
Jesus:
9 1:9
who
shall
suffer
punishment,
even
eternal
destruction
from
the
face
of
the
Lord
and
from
the
glory
of
his
might,
10 1:10
when
he
shall
come
to
be
glorified
in
his
saints,
and
to
be
marvelled
at
in
all
them
that
believed (because
our
testimony
unto
you
was
believed)
in
that
day.
11 1:11
To
which
end
we
also
pray
always
for
you,
that
our
God
may
count
you
worthy
of
your
calling,
and
fulfil
every
desire
of
goodness
and
every
work
of
faith,
with
power;
12 1:12
that
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
may
be
glorified
in
you,
and
ye
in
him,
according
to
the
grace
of
our
God
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
21 2:1
Now
we
beseech
you,
brethren,
touching
the
coming
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
our
gathering
together
unto
him;
2 2:2
to
the
end
that
ye
be
not
quickly
shaken
from
your
mind,
nor
yet
be
troubled,
either
by
spirit,
or
by
word,
or
by
epistle
as
from
us,
as
that
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
just
at
hand;
3 2:3
let
no
man beguile
you
in
any
wise:
for
it
will
not
be,
except
the
falling
away
come
first,
and
the
man
of
sin
be
revealed,
the
son
of perdition,
4 2:4
he
that opposeth
and
exalteth
himself
against
all
that
is
called
God
or
that
is
worshipped;
so
that
he
sitteth
in
the
temple
of
God,
setting
himself
forth
as
God.
5 2:5
Remember
ye
not,
that,
when
I
was
yet
with
you,
I
told
you
these
things?
6 2:6
And
now
ye
know
that
which restraineth,
to
the
end
that
he
may
be
revealed
in
his
own
season.
7 2:7
For
the
mystery
of lawlessness
doth
already
work:
only
there
is
one
that restraineth
now,
until
he
be
taken
out
of
the
way.
8 2:8
And
then
shall
be
revealed
the
lawless
one,
whom
the
Lord
Jesus
shall
slay
with
the
breath
of
his
mouth,
and
bring
to
nought
by
the manifestation
of
his
coming;
9 2:9
even
he,
whose
coming
is
according
to
the
working
of
Satan
with
all
power
and
signs
and
lying
wonders,
10 2:10
and
with
all
deceit
of
unrighteousness
for
them
that
perish;
because
they
received
not
the
love
of
the
truth,
that
they
might
be
saved.
11 2:11
And
for
this
cause
God
sendeth
them
a
working
of
error,
that
they
should
believe
a
lie:
12 2:12
that
they
all
might
be
judged
who
believed
not
the
truth,
but
had
pleasure
in
unrighteousness.
13 2:13
But
we
are
bound
to
give
thanks
to
God
always
for
you,
brethren
beloved
of
the
Lord,
for
that
God
chose
you
from
the
beginning
unto
salvation
in sanctification
of
the
Spirit
and
belief
of
the
truth:
14 2:14
whereunto
he
called
you
through
our
gospel,
to
the
obtaining
of
the
glory
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
15 2:15
So
then,
brethren,
stand
fast,
and
hold
the
traditions
which
ye
were
taught,
whether
by
word,
or
by
epistle
of
ours.
16 2:16
Now
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself,
and
God
our
Father
who
loved
us
and
gave
us
eternal
comfort
and
good
hope
through
grace,
17 2:17
comfort
your
hearts
and
establish
them
in
every
good
work
and
word.
31 3:1
Finally,
brethren,
pray
for
us,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
may
run
and
be
glorified,
even
as
also
it
is
with
you;
2 3:2
and
that
we
may
be
delivered
from unreasonable
and
evil
men;
for
all
have
not
faith.
3 3:3
But
the
Lord
is
faithful,
who
shall
establish
you,
and
guard
you
from
the
evil
one.
4 3:4
And
we
have
confidence
in
the
Lord
touching
you,
that
ye
both
do
and
will
do
the
things
which
we
command.
5 3:5
And
the
Lord
direct
your
hearts
into
the
love
of
God,
and
into
the
patience
of
Christ.
6 3:6
Now
we
command
you,
brethren,
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that
ye
withdraw
yourselves
from
every
brother
that
walketh disorderly,
and
not
after
the
tradition
which
they
received
of
us.
7 3:7
For
yourselves
know
how
ye
ought
to
imitate
us:
for
we
behaved
not
ourselves disorderly
among
you;
8 3:8
neither
did
we
eat
bread
for
nought
at
any
man’s
hand,
but
in
labor
and
travail,
working
night
and
day,
that
we
might
not
burden
any
of
you:
9 3:9
not
because
we
have
not
the
right,
but
to
make
ourselves
an
ensample
unto
you,
that
ye
should
imitate
us.
10 3:10
For
even
when
we
were
with
you,
this
we
commanded
you,
If
any
will
not
work,
neither
let
him
eat.
11 3:11
For
we
hear
of
some
that
walk
among
you disorderly,
that
work
not
at
all,
but
are
busybodies.
12 3:12
Now
them
that
are
such
we
command
and
exhort
in
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that
with
quietness
they
work,
and
eat
their
own
bread.
13 3:13
But
ye,
brethren,
be
not
weary
in well-doing.
14 3:14
And
if
any
man
obeyeth
not
our
word
by
this
epistle,
note
that
man,
that
ye
have
no
company
with
him,
to
the
end
that
he
may
be
ashamed.
15 3:15
And
yet
count
him
not
as
an
enemy,
but
admonish
him
as
a
brother.
16 3:16
Now
the
Lord
of
peace
himself
give
you
peace
at
all
times
in
all
ways.
The
Lord
be
with
you
all.
17 3:17
The salutation
of
me
Paul
with
mine
own
hand,
which
is
the
token
in
every
epistle:
so
I
write.
18 3:18
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be
with
you
all.
