2 THESSALONIANS
2 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord
Yahshua the Christ:
2 Grace unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Yahshua the
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 [This 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 [will be given] rest with us, when the Lord Yahshua 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 Yahshua,
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 Yahshua the Christ may be glorified in you and ye in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Yahshua the Christ.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yahshua the
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 the Christ is at hand.
3 Let no one deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come] except
there come a falling away first and that person 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 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 holds fast, that he might be
revealed in his time;
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only
[there is] one who holds fast 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 Yahshua the 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 Yahshua the Christ Himself and God our Father, Which 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.
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,
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked people: for all
have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, Who shall establish 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 the Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Yahshua the 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 one'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 example 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 Yahshua the 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 one obey not our word by this epistle,
note that one 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 Yahshua the Christ [be] with you all.
