{\MT The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul
and
Silvanus
and Timotheus
to
the
assembly
of
Thessalonians
in
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:1 }
Elohim}God
our
Father
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{2}Grace
to
you,
and
peace
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }
Elohim}God
our
Father,
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{3}We
ought
to
thank
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }
Elohim}God
always
for
you,
brethren,
even
as
it
is meet,
because
your
faith
increases exceedingly,
and
the
love
of
each
one
of
you
all towards
one
another abounds;
\VS{4}so
that
we
ourselves make
our
boast
in
you
in
the assemblies
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:4 }
Elohim}God
for
your
endurance
and
faith
in
all
your
persecutions
and
tribulations,
which ye
are sustaining;
\VS{5}a manifest token
of
the
righteous
judgment
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:5 }
Elohim}God,
to
the
end
that ye
should
be counted
worthy
of
the
kingdom
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:5 }
Elohim}God,
for
the
sake
of
which ye
also
suffer;
\VS{6}if
at least [it
is
a]
righteous thing
with
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:6 }
Elohim}God
to
render
tribulation
to
those
that
trouble
you,
\VS{7}and
to
you
that
are troubled repose
with
us,
at
the
revelation
of
the
Lord
Jesus
from
heaven,
with [the]
angels
of
his
power,
\VS{8}in
flaming
fire taking
vengeance
on
those
who
know
not
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:8 }
Elohim}God,
and
those
who
do
not
obey
the glad tidings
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
\VS{9}who
shall
pay
the
penalty [of] everlasting
destruction
from [the]
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
from
the
glory
of
his
might,
\VS{10}when
he
shall
have
come
to
be
glorified
in
his
saints,
and
wondered
at
in
all
that
have
believed, (for
our
testimony
to
you
has
been
believed,)
in
that
day.
\VS{11}To
which
end
we
also
pray
always
for
you,
that
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:11 }
Elohim}God
may
count
you
worthy
of
the
calling,
and fulfil
all [the]
good
pleasure
of [his]
goodness
and [the]
work
of
faith
with
power,
\VS{12}so
that
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus [Christ]
may
be
glorified
in
you
and
{\BD{ye}}
in
him,
according
to
the
grace
of
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:12 }
Elohim}God,
and
of [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
we
beg
you,
brethren,
by
the
coming
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
and
our
gathering
together
to
him,
\VS{2}that ye
be
not
soon
shaken
in
mind,
nor troubled,
neither
by
spirit,
nor
by
word,
nor
by
letter,
as [if
it
were]
by
us,
as
that
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
present.
\VS{3}Let
not
any
one
deceive
you
in
any manner,
because [it
will
not
be]
unless
the
apostasy
have
first
come,
and
the
man
of sin
have
been
revealed,
the
son
of
perdition;
\VS{4}who
opposes
and
exalts
himself
on high
against
all
called
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:4 }
Elohim}God,
or
object
of veneration;
so
that
he
himself
sits
down
in
the
temple
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:4 }
Elohim}God, shewing
himself
that
he
is
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:4 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{5}Do ye
not
remember
that,
being
yet
with
you,
I
said
these
things
to
you?
\VS{6}And
now ye
know
that
which
restrains,
that
he
should
be
revealed
in
his
own
time.
\VS{7}For
the
mystery
of
lawlessness
already
works;
only [there
is]
he
who
restrains
now
until
he
be gone,
\VS{8}and
then
the
lawless
one
shall
be
revealed,
whom
the
Lord
Jesus
shall consume
with
the
breath
of
his
mouth,
and
shall annul
by
the
appearing
of
his
coming;
\VS{9}whose
coming
is
according
to
the
working
of
Satan
in
all
power
and
signs
and
wonders
of
falsehood,
\VS{10}and
in
all
deceit
of
unrighteousness
to
them
that
perish,
because
they
have
not
received
the
love
of
the
truth
that
they
might
be
saved.
\VS{11}And
for
this
reason
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }
Elohim}God
sends
to
them
a
working
of
error,
that
they
should
believe
what
is
false,
\VS{12}that
all
might
be
judged
who
have
not
believed
the
truth,
but
have found
pleasure
in
unrighteousness.
\VS{13}But
we
ought
to
give
thanks
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:13 }
Elohim}God
always
for
you,
brethren
beloved
of [the]
Lord,
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:13 }
Elohim}God
has
chosen
you
from [the]
beginning
to
salvation
in
sanctification
of [the]
Spirit
and belief
of [the]
truth:
\VS{14}whereto
he
has
called
you
by
our glad tidings,
to [the]
obtaining
of [the]
glory
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{15}So
then,
brethren,
stand
firm,
and
hold
fast
the
instructions
which ye
have
been
taught,
whether
by
word
or
by
our
letter.
\VS{16}But
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself,
and
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:16 }
Elohim}God
and
Father,
who
has
loved
us,
and
given [us]
eternal
consolation
and
good
hope
by
grace,
\VS{17}encourage
your
hearts,
and
establish
you
in
every
good
work
and
word.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For
the rest,
brethren,
pray
for
us,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
may
run
and
be
glorified,
even
as
also
with
you;
\VS{2}and
that
we
may
be
delivered
from
bad
and
evil
men,
for
faith [is]
not [the portion]
of
all.
\VS{3}But
the
Lord
is
faithful,
who
shall
establish
you
and
keep [you]
from
evil.
\VS{4}But
we
trust
in
the
Lord
as
to
you,
that
the
things
which
we enjoin, ye
both
do
and
will
do.
\VS{5}But
the
Lord
direct
your
hearts
into
the
love
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:5 }
Elohim}God,
and
into
the
patience
of
the
Christ.
\VS{6}Now
we enjoin
you,
brethren,
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that ye withdraw
from
every
brother
walking disorderly
and
not
according
to
the
instruction
which
he
received
from
us.
\VS{7}For ye
know
yourselves
how ye
ought
to
imitate
us,
because
we
have
not walked disorderly
among
you;
\VS{8}nor
have
we
eaten
bread
from
any
one
without cost;
but
in
toil
and
hardship working
night
and
day
not
to
be chargeable
to
any
one
of
you:
\VS{9}not
that
we
have
not
the
right,
but
that
we
might
give
ourselves
as
an
example
to
you,
in
order
to
your imitating
us.
\VS{10}For
also
when
we
were
with
you
we enjoined
you
this,
that
if
any
man
does
not
like
to
work,
neither
let
him
eat.
\VS{11}For
we
hear
that [there are]
some
walking
among
you disorderly,
not working
at
all,
but
busybodies.
\VS{12}Now
such
we enjoin
and
exhort
in [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that working
quietly
they
eat
their
own
bread.
\VS{13}But
{\BD{ye}},
brethren,
do
not faint
in well-doing.
\VS{14}But
if
any
one
obey
not
our
word
by
the
letter, mark
that
man,
and
do
not
keep company
with
him,
that
he
may
be ashamed
of
himself;
\VS{15}and
do
not
esteem
him
as
an
enemy,
but
admonish [him]
as
a
brother.
\VS{16}But
the
Lord
of
peace
himself
give
you
peace
continually
in
every
way.
The
Lord [be]
with
you
all.
\VS{17}The
salutation
by
the
hand
of me,
Paul,
which
is [the]
mark
in
every
letter;
so
I
write.
\VS{18}The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
you
all.
