II Thessalonians

II THESSALONIANS 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the
church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ:
II THESSALONIANS 1:2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
II THESSALONIANS 1:3 We are bound to thank God always for you,
brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth
exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each
other aboundeth;
II THESSALONIANS 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your
persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
II THESSALONIANS 1:5 {Which is} a manifest token of the righteous
judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which ye also suffer:
II THESSALONIANS 1:6 Seeing {it is} a righteous thing with God to
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
II THESSALONIANS 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels,
II THESSALONIANS 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them
that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
II THESSALONIANS 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
his power;
II THESSALONIANS 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his
saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day.
II THESSALONIANS 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that
our God would count you worthy of {this} calling, and fulfil all
the good pleasure of {his} goodness, and the work of faith with
power:
II THESSALONIANS 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may
be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our
God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
II THESSALONIANS 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and {by} our gathering together unto
him,
II THESSALONIANS 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from
us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
II THESSALONIANS 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for
{that day shall not come}, except there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
II THESSALONIANS 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
II THESSALONIANS 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with
you, I told you these things?
II THESSALONIANS 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he
might be revealed in his time.
II THESSALONIANS 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work: only he who now letteth {will let}, until he be taken out
of the way.
II THESSALONIANS 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall
destroy with the brightness of his coming:
II THESSALONIANS 2:9 {Even him}, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
II THESSALONIANS 2:10 And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not
the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
II THESSALONIANS 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
II THESSALONIANS 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed
not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
II THESSALONIANS 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to
God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from
the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of
the Spirit and belief of the truth:
II THESSALONIANS 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to
the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
II THESSALONIANS 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold
the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our
epistle.
II THESSALONIANS 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God,
even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given {us}
everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
II THESSALONIANS 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in
every good word and work.
II THESSALONIANS 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the
word of the Lord may have {free} course, and be glorified, even
as {it is} with you:
II THESSALONIANS 3:2 And that we may be delivered from
unreasonable and wicked men: for all {men} have not faith.
II THESSALONIANS 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish
you, and keep {you} from evil.
II THESSALONIANS 3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching
you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
II THESSALONIANS 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the
love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
II THESSALONIANS 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 he received of us.
II THESSALONIANS 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow
us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
II THESSALONIANS 3:8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for
nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that
we might not be chargeable to any of you:
II THESSALONIANS 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make
ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
II THESSALONIANS 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we
commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should eat.
II THESSALONIANS 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk
among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
II THESSALONIANS 3:12 Now them that are such we command and
exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work,
and eat their own bread.
II THESSALONIANS 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well
doing.
II THESSALONIANS 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this
epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may
be ashamed.
II THESSALONIANS 3:15 Yet count {him} not as an enemy, but
admonish {him} as a brother.
II THESSALONIANS 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you
peace always by all means. The Lord {be} with you all.
II THESSALONIANS 3:17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand,
which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
II THESSALONIANS 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ {be}
with you all. Amen.
