New Testament 2 Thessalonian 2 Thessalonians 1
King
James Version
1 Paul,
and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace unto you, and
peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 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; 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: 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: 6 Seeing it is a
righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are
troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking
vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the
glory of his power; 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. 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: 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. 2 Thessalonians 2
King
James Version
2 Now we
beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him, 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. 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; 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. 5 Remember ye not, that,
when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what
withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of
iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be
taken out of the way. 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: 9 Even him, whose coming
is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 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. 11 And for this cause God
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 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: 14 Whereunto he called you
by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren,
stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by
word, or our epistle. 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, 17 Comfort your hearts,
and stablish you in every good word and work 2 Thessalonians 3
King
James Version
3 Finally,
brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be
glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be
delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is
faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 4 And we have confidence
in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we
command you. 5 And the Lord direct
your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 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. 7 For yourselves know how
ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 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: 9 Not because we have not
power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10 For even when we were
with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should
he eat. 11 For we hear that there
are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are
busybodies. 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. 13 But ye, brethren, be
not weary in well doing. 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. 15 Yet count him not as an
enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 16 Now the Lord of peace
himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 17 The salutation of Paul
with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. 18 The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. |
