1Thessalonians 1

1. Paul <3972-Paulos->, and Silvanus <4610-Silouanos->, and

Timotheus <5095-Timotheos->, unto the church <1577-ekklesia-> of

the Thessalonians <2331-Thessalonikeus-> [which is] in God <2316-

theos-> the Father <3962-pater-> and [in] the Lord <2962-kurios-

> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->: Grace <5485-

charis-> [be] unto you, and peace <1515-eirene->, from God <2316-

theos-> our Father <3962-pater->, and the Lord <2962-kurios->

Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.

2. We give thanks <2168-eucharisteo-> to God <2316-theos->

always <3842-pantote-> for you all <3956-pas->, making <4160-

poieo-> mention <3417-mneia-> of you in our prayers <4335-

proseuche->;

3 Remembering <3421-mnemoneuo-> without <0089-adialeiptos->

ceasing <0089-adialeiptos-> your <5209-humas-> work <2041-ergon-

> of faith <4102-pistis->, and labour <2873-kopos-> of love

<0026-agape->, and patience <5281-hupomone-> of hope <1680-elpis-

> in our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-

Christos->, in the sight <1715-emprosthen-> of God <2316-theos->

and our Father <3962-pater->;

4 Knowing <1492-eido->, brethren <0080-adephos-> beloved <0025-

agapao->, your <5216-humon-> election <1589-ekloge-> of God

<2316-theos->.

5 For our gospel <2098-euaggelion-> came <1096-ginomai-> not

unto you in word <3056-logos-> only <3440-monon->, but also

<2532-kai-> in power <1411-dunamis->, and in the Holy <0040-

hagios-> Ghost <4151-pneuma->, and in much <4183-polus->

assurance <4136-plerophoria->; as ye know <1492-eido-> what

<3634-hoios-> manner <3634-hoios-> of men we were among <1722-en-

> you for your <5209-humas-> sake.

6. And ye became <1096-ginomai-> followers <3402-mimetes-> of

us, and of the Lord <2962-kurios->, having received <1209-

dechomai-> the word <3056-logos-> in much <4183-polus->

affliction <2347-thlipsis->, with joy <5479-chara-> of the Holy

<0040-hagios-> Ghost <4151-pneuma->:

7 So <5620-hoste-> that ye were ensamples <5179-tupos-> to all

<3956-pas-> that believe <4100-pisteuo-> in Macedonia <3109-

Makedonia-> and Achaia <0882-Achaia->.

8 For from you sounded <1837-execheomai-> out the word <3056-

logos-> of the Lord <2962-kurios-> not only <3440-monon-> in

Macedonia <3109-Makedonia-> and Achaia <0882-Achaia->, but also

<2532-kai-> in every <3956-pas-> place <5117-topos-> your <5216-

humon-> faith <4102-pistis-> to God-ward <2316-theos-> is spread

<1831-exerchomai-> abroad <1831-exerchomai->; so <5620-hoste->

that we need <5532-chreia-> not to speak <2980-laleo-> any <5100-

tis-> thing.

9 For they themselves <0846-autos-> shew <0518-apaggello-> of

us what <3697-hopoios-> manner <3697-hopoios-> of entering <1529-

eisodos-> in we had <2192-echo-> unto you, and how <4459-pos->

ye turned <1994-epistrepho-> to God <2316-theos-> from idols

<1497-eidolon-> to serve <1398-douleuo-> the living <2198-zao->

and true <0228-alethinos-> God <2316-theos->;

10 And to wait <0362-anemeno-> for his Son <5207-huios-> from

heaven <3772-ouranos->, whom <3739-hos-> he raised <1453-egeiro-

> from the dead <3498-nekros->, [even] Jesus <2424-Iesous->,

which <3588-ho-> delivered <4506-rhoumai-> us from the wrath

<3709-orge-> to come <2064-erchomai->.

1Thessalonians 2

1. For yourselves <0846-autos->, brethren <0080-adephos->, know

<1492-eido-> our entrance <1529-eisodos-> in unto you, that it

was not in vain <2756-kenos->:

2 But even <2532-kai-> after that we had suffered <4310-

propascho-> before <4310-propascho->, and were shamefully <5195-

hubrizo-> entreated <5195-hubrizo->, as ye know <1492-eido->, at

<1722-en-> Philippi <5375-Philippoi->, we were bold <3955-

parrhesiazomai-> in our God <2316-theos-> to speak <2980-laleo->

unto you the gospel <2098-euaggelion-> of God <2316-theos-> with

much <4183-polus-> contention <0073-agon->.

3 For our exhortation <3874-paraklesis-> [was] not of deceit

<4106-plane->, nor <3761-oude-> of uncleanness <0167-akatharsia-

>, nor <3777-oute-> in guile <1388-dolos->:

4 But as we were allowed <1381-dokimazo-> of God <2316-theos->

to be put <4160-poieo-> in trust <4100-pisteuo-> with the gospel

<2098-euaggelion->, even so <3779-houto-> we speak <2980-laleo->;

not as pleasing <0700-aresko-> men <0444-anthropos->, but God

<2316-theos->, which trieth <1381-dokimazo-> our hearts <2588-

kardia->.

5 For neither <3777-oute-> at <4218-pote-> any <4218-pote->

time <4218-pote-> used <1722-en-> we flattering <2850-kolakeia->

words <3056-logos->, as ye know <1492-eido->, nor <3777-oute-> a

cloke <4392-prophasis-> of covetousness <4124-pleonexia->; God

<2316-theos-> [is] witness <3144-martus->:

6 Nor <3777-oute-> of men <0444-anthropos-> sought <2212-zeteo-

> we glory <1391-doxa->, neither <3777-oute-> of you, nor <3777-

oute-> [yet] of others <0243-allos->, when we might <1410-

dunamai-> have been burdensome <0922-baros->, as the apostles

<0652-apostolos-> of Christ <5547-Christos->.

7. But we were gentle <2261-epios-> among <3319-mesos-> you,

even as a nurse <5162-trophos-> cherisheth <2282-thalpo-> her

children <5043-teknon->:

8 So <3779-houto-> being affectionately <2442-himeiromai->

desirous <2442-himeiromai-> of you, we were willing <2106-

eudokeo-> to have imparted <3330-metadidomi-> unto you, not the

gospel <2098-euaggelion-> of God <2316-theos-> only <3440-monon-

>, but also <2532-kai-> our own <1438-heautou-> souls <5590-

psuche->, because <1360-dioti-> ye were dear <0027-agapetos->

unto us.

9 For ye remember <3421-mnemoneuo->, brethren <0080-adephos->,

our labour <2873-kopos-> and travail <3449-mochthos->: for

labouring <2873-kopos-> night <3571-nux-> and day <2250-hemera->,

because <4314-pros-> we would not be chargeable <1912-epibareo-

> unto any <5100-tis-> of you, we preached <2784-kerusso-> unto

you the gospel <2098-euaggelion-> of God <2316-theos->.

10 Ye [are] witnesses <3144-martus->, and God <2316-theos->

[also <2532-kai->], how <5613-hos-> holily <3743-hosios-> and

justly <1346-dikaios-> and unblameably <0274-amemptos-> we

behaved <1096-ginomai-> ourselves among you that believe <4100-

pisteuo->:

11 As ye know <1492-eido-> how <5613-hos-> we exhorted and

comforted <3888-paramutheomai-> and charged <3146-mastigoo->

every <1538-hekastos-> one <1520-heis-> of you, as a father

<3962-pater-> [doth] his children <5043-teknon->,

12 That ye would walk <4043-peripateo-> worthy <0516-axios-> of

God <2316-theos->, who <3588-ho-> hath called <2564-kaleo-> you

unto his kingdom <0932-basileia-> and glory <1391-doxa->.

13. For this <5124-touto-> cause <1223-dia-> also <2532-kai->

thank <2168-eucharisteo-> we God <2316-theos-> without <0089-

adialeiptos-> ceasing <0089-adialeiptos->, because <3754-hoti->,

when ye received <3880-paralambano-> the word <3056-logos-> of

God <2316-theos-> which ye heard <0189-akoe-> of us, ye received

<1209-dechomai-> [it] not [as] the word <3056-logos-> of men

<0444-anthropos->, but as it is in truth <0230-alethos->, the

word <3056-logos-> of God <2316-theos->, which <3739-hos->

effectually <1754-energeo-> worketh <1754-energeo-> also <2532-

kai-> in you that believe <4100-pisteuo->.

14 For ye, brethren <0080-adephos->, became <1096-ginomai->

followers <3402-mimetes-> of the churches <1577-ekklesia-> of

God <2316-theos-> which <3588-ho-> in Judaea <2449-Ioudaia-> are

in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->: for ye also

<2532-kai-> have suffered <3958-pascho-> like <5024-tauta->

things of your <2398-idios-> own <2398-idios-> countrymen <4853-

sumphuletes->, even <2532-kai-> as they [have] of the Jews <2453-

Ioudaios->:

15 Who <3588-ho-> both <2532-kai-> killed <0615-apokteino-> the

Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->, and their own <2398-

idios-> prophets <4396-prophetes->, and have persecuted <1559-

ekdioko-> us; and they please <0700-aresko-> not God <2316-theos-

>, and are contrary <1727-enantios-> to all <3956-pas-> men

<0444-anthropos->:

16 Forbidding <2967-koluo-> us to speak <2980-laleo-> to the

Gentiles <1484-ethnos-> that they might be saved <4982-sozo->,

to fill <0378-anapleroo-> up their sins <0266-hamartia-> alway

<0104-aei->: for the wrath <3709-orge-> is come <5348-phthano->

upon them to the uttermost <5056-telos->.

17. But we, brethren <0080-adephos->, being taken <0642-

aporphanizo-> from you for a short <5610-hora-> time <2540-

kairos-> in presence <4383-prosopon->, not in heart <2588-kardia-

>, endeavoured <4704-spoudazo-> the more <4056-perissoteros->

abundantly <4056-perissoteros-> to see <1492-eido-> your <5216-

humon-> face <4383-prosopon-> with great <4183-polus-> desire

<1939-epithumia->.

18 Wherefore <1352-dio-> we would <2309-thelo-> have come <2064-

erchomai-> unto you, even <3303-men-> I Paul <3972-Paulos->,

once <0530-hapax-> and again <1364-dis->; but Satan <4567-

Satanas-> hindered <1465-egkopto-> us.

19 For what <5101-tis-> [is] our hope <1680-elpis->, or <2228-e-

> joy <5479-chara->, or <2228-e-> crown <4735-stephanos-> of

rejoicing <2746-kauchesis->? [Are] not even <2532-kai-> ye in

the presence <1715-emprosthen-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> at <1722-en-> his coming

<3952-parousia->?

20 For ye are our glory <1391-doxa-> and joy <5479-chara->.

1Thessalonians 3

1. Wherefore <1352-dio-> when we could no <3371-meketi-> longer

<3371-meketi-> forbear <4722-stego->, we thought <2106-eudokeo->

it good <2106-eudokeo-> to be left <2641-kataleipo-> at <1722-en-

> Athens <0116-Athenai-> alone <3441-monos->;

2 And sent <3992-pempo-> Timotheus <5095-Timotheos->, our

brother <0080-adephos->, and minister <1249-diakonos-> of God

<2316-theos->, and our fellowlabourer <4904-sunergos-> in the

gospel <2098-euaggelion-> of Christ <5547-Christos->, to

establish <4741-sterizo-> you, and to comfort <3870-parakaleo->

you concerning <4012-peri-> your <5216-humon-> faith <4102-

pistis->:

3 That no <3367-medeis-> man <3367-medeis-> should be moved

<4525-saino-> by these <5025-tautais-> afflictions <2347-

thlipsis->: for yourselves <0846-autos-> know <1492-eido-> that

we are appointed <2749-keimai-> thereunto <5124-touto->.

4 For verily <2532-kai->, when <3753-hote-> we were with you,

we told <4302-prolego-> you before <4302-prolego-> that we

should <3195-mello-> suffer tribulation <2346-thlibo->; even

<2532-kai-> as it came <1096-ginomai-> to pass, and ye know

<1492-eido->.

5 For this <5124-touto-> cause <1223-dia->, when I could no

<3371-meketi-> longer <3371-meketi-> forbear <4722-stego->, I

sent <0375-anapempo-> to know <1097-ginosko-> your <5216-humon->

faith <4102-pistis->, lest <3381-mepos-> by some <3381-mepos->

means <4458--pos-> the tempter <3985-peirazo-> have tempted

<3985-peirazo-> you, and our labour <2873-kopos-> be in vain

<2756-kenos->.

6. But now <0737-arti-> when Timotheus <5095-Timotheos-> came

<2064-erchomai-> from you unto us, and brought <2097-euaggelizo-

> us good <2097-euaggelizo-> tidings <2097-euaggelizo-> of your

<5216-humon-> faith <4102-pistis-> and charity <0026-agape->,

and that ye have <2192-echo-> good <0018-agathos-> remembrance

<3417-mneia-> of us always <3842-pantote->, desiring <1971-

epipotheo-> greatly <1971-epipotheo-> to see <1492-eido-> us, as

we also <2532-kai-> [to see] you:

7 Therefore <5124-touto->, brethren <0080-adephos->, we were

comforted <3870-parakaleo-> over <1909-epi-> you in all <3956-

pas-> our affliction <2347-thlipsis-> and distress <0318-anagke-

> by your <5216-humon-> faith <4102-pistis->:

8 For now <3568-nun-> we live <2198-zao->, if <1437-ean-> ye

stand <4739-steko-> fast in the Lord <2962-kurios->.

9 For what <5101-tis-> thanks <2169-eucharistia-> can <1410-

dunamai-> we render <0467-antapodidomi-> to God <2316-theos->

again <0467-antapodidomi-> for you, for all <3956-pas-> the joy

<5479-chara-> wherewith <3739-hos-> we joy <5463-chairo-> for

your <5209-humas-> sakes before <1715-emprosthen-> our God <2316-

theos->;

10 Night <3571-nux-> and day <2250-hemera-> praying <1189-

deomai-> exceedingly <4053-perissos-> that we might see <1492-

eido-> your <5216-humon-> face <4383-prosopon->, and might

perfect <2675-katartizo-> that which is lacking <5303-husterema-

> in your <5216-humon-> faith <4102-pistis->?

11. Now <1161-de-> God <2316-theos-> himself <0846-autos-> and

our Father <3962-pater->, and our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, direct <2720-kateuthuno-

> our way <3598-hodos-> unto you.

12 And the Lord <2962-kurios-> make <4121-pleonazo-> you to

increase <4121-pleonazo-> and abound <4052-perisseuo-> in love

<0026-agape-> one <0240-allelon-> toward <1519-eis-> another

<0240-allelon->, and toward <1519-eis-> all <3956-pas-> [men],

even <2532-kai-> as we [do] toward <1519-eis-> you:

13 To the end <1519-eis-> he may stablish <4741-sterizo-> your

<5216-humon-> hearts <2588-kardia-> unblameable <0299-amomos->

in holiness <0042-hagiosune-> before <1715-emprosthen-> God

<2316-theos->, even <2532-kai-> our Father <3962-pater->, at

<1722-en-> the coming <3952-parousia-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-

> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> with all <3956-

pas-> his saints <0040-hagios->.

1Thessalonians 4

1. Furthermore <3063-loipon-> then <3767-oun-> we beseech <2065-

erotao-> you, brethren <0080-adephos->, and exhort <3870-

parakaleo-> [you] by the Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-

>, that as ye have received <3880-paralambano-> of us how <4459-

pos-> ye ought <1163-dei-> to walk <4043-peripateo-> and to

please <0700-aresko-> God <2316-theos->, [so] ye would abound

<4052-perisseuo-> more <3123-mallon-> and more <3123-mallon->.

2 For ye know <1492-eido-> what <5101-tis-> commandments <3852-

paraggelia-> we gave <1325-didomi-> you by the Lord <2962-kurios-

> Jesus <2424-Iesous->.

3 For this <5124-touto-> is the will <2307-thelema-> of God

<2316-theos->, [even] your <5216-humon-> sanctification <0038-

hagiasmos->, that ye should abstain <0567-apechomai-> from

fornication <4202-porneia->:

4 That every <1538-hekastos-> one of you should know <1492-eido-

> how to possess <2932-ktaomai-> his vessel <4632-skeuos-> in

sanctification <0038-hagiasmos-> and honour <5092-time->;

5 Not in the lust <3806-pathos-> of concupiscence <1939-

epithumia->, even <2532-kai-> as the Gentiles <1484-ethnos->

which <3588-ho-> know <1492-eido-> not God <2316-theos->:

6 That no <3361-me-> [man] go <5233-huperbaino-> beyond <5233-

huperbaino-> and defraud <4122-pleonekteo-> his brother <0080-

adephos-> in [any] matter <4229-pragma->: because <1360-dioti->

that the Lord <2962-kurios-> [is] the avenger <1558-ekdikos-> of

all <3956-pas-> such <5130-touton->, as we also <2532-kai-> have

forewarned <4277-proepo-> you and testified <1263-diamarturomai-

7 For God <2316-theos-> hath not called <2564-kaleo-> us unto

uncleanness <0167-akatharsia->, but unto holiness <0038-

hagiasmos->.

8 He therefore <5105-toigaroun-> that despiseth <0114-atheteo->,

despiseth <0114-atheteo-> not man <0444-anthropos->, but God

<2316-theos->, who <3588-ho-> hath also <2532-kai-> given <1325-

didomi-> unto us his holy <0040-hagios-> Spirit <4151-pneuma->.

9. But as touching <4012-peri-> brotherly <5360-philadelphia->

love <5360-philadelphia-> ye need <5532-chreia-> not that I

write <1125-grapho-> unto you: for ye yourselves <0846-autos->

are taught <2312-theodidaktos and 2312 theologos-> of God <2312-

theodidaktos and 2312 theologos-> to love <0025-agapao-> one

<0240-allelon-> another <0240-allelon->.

10 And indeed <1063-gar-> ye do <4160-poieo-> it toward <1519-

eis-> all <3956-pas-> the brethren <0080-adephos-> which <3588-

ho-> are in all <3650-holos-> Macedonia <3109-Makedonia->: but

we beseech <3870-parakaleo-> you, brethren <0080-adephos->, that

ye increase <4052-perisseuo-> more <3123-mallon-> and more <3123-

mallon->;

11 And that ye study <5389-philotimeomai-> to be quiet <2270-

hesuchazo->, and to do <4238-prasso-> your <2398-idios-> own

<2398-idios-> business <2398-idios->, and to work <2038-

ergazomai-> with your <2398-idios-> own <2398-idios-> hands

<5495-cheir->, as we commanded <3853-paraggello-> you;

12 That ye may walk <4043-peripateo-> honestly <2156-

euschemonos-> toward <4314-pros-> them that are without <1854-

exo->, and [that] ye may have <2192-echo-> lack <5332-pharmakeus-

> of nothing <3367-medeis->.

13. But I would <2309-thelo-> not have you to be ignorant <0050-

agnoeo->, brethren <0080-adephos->, concerning <4012-peri-> them

which are asleep <2837-koimao->, that ye sorrow <3076-lupeo->

not, even <2532-kai-> as others <3062-loipoy-> which <3588-ho->

have <2192-echo-> no <3361-me-> hope <1680-elpis->.

14 For if <1487-ei-> we believe <4100-pisteuo-> that Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> died <0599-apothnesko-> and rose <0450-anistemi->

again <0450-anistemi->, even so <3779-houto-> them also <2532-

kai-> which sleep <2837-koimao-> in Jesus <2424-Iesous-> will

God <2316-theos-> bring <0071-ago-> with him.

15 For this <5124-touto-> we say <3004-lego-> unto you by the

word <3056-logos-> of the Lord <2962-kurios->, that we which

<3588-ho-> are alive <2198-zao-> [and] remain <4035-perileipo->

unto the coming <3952-parousia-> of the Lord <2962-kurios->

shall not prevent <5348-phthano-> them which <3588-ho-> are

asleep <2837-koimao->.

16 For the Lord <2962-kurios-> himself <0846-autos-> shall

descend <2597-katabaino-> from heaven <3772-ouranos-> with a

shout <2752-keleuma->, with the voice <5456-phone-> of the

archangel <0743-archaggelos->, and with the trump <4536-salpigx-

> of God <2316-theos->: and the dead <3498-nekros-> in Christ

<5547-Christos-> shall rise <0450-anistemi-> first <4412-proton-

17 Then <1899-epeita-> we which <3588-ho-> are alive <2198-zao-

> [and] remain <4035-perileipo-> shall be caught <0726-harpazo->

up together <0260-hama-> with them in the clouds <3507-nephele->,

to meet <0529-apantesis-> the Lord <2962-kurios-> in the air

<0109-aer->: and so <3779-houto-> shall we ever <3842-pantote->

be with the Lord <2962-kurios->.

18 Wherefore <5620-hoste-> comfort <3870-parakaleo-> one <0240-

allelon-> another <0240-allelon-> with these <5125-toutois->

words <3056-logos->.

1Thessalonians 5

1. But of the times <2540-kairos-> and the seasons <2540-kairos-

>, brethren <0080-adephos->, ye have <2192-echo-> no <3756-ou->

need <5532-chreia-> that I write <1125-grapho-> unto you.

2 For yourselves <0846-autos-> know <1492-eido-> perfectly

<0199-akribos-> that the day <2250-hemera-> of the Lord <2962-

kurios-> so <3779-houto-> cometh <2064-erchomai-> as a thief

<2812-kleptes-> in the night <3571-nux->.

3 For when <3752-hotan-> they shall say <3004-lego->, Peace

<1515-eirene-> and safety <0803-asphaleia->; then <5119-tote->

sudden <0160-aiphnidios-> destruction <3639-olethros-> cometh

<2186-ephistemi-> upon them, as travail <5604-odin--Ozias-> upon

a woman with child <1064-gaster->; and they shall not escape

<1628-ekpheugo->.

4 But ye, brethren <0080-adephos->, are not in darkness <4655-

skotos->, that that day <2250-hemera-> should overtake <2638-

katalambano-> you as a thief <2812-kleptes->.

5 Ye are all <3956-pas-> the children <5207-huios-> of light

<5457-phos->, and the children <5207-huios-> of the day <2250-

hemera->: we are not of the night <3571-nux->, nor <3761-oude->

of darkness <4655-skotos->.

6. Therefore <3767-oun-> let us not sleep <2518-katheudo->, as

[do] others <3062-loipoy->; but let us watch <1127-gregoreuo->

and be sober <3525-nepho->.

7 For they that sleep <2518-katheudo-> sleep <2518-katheudo->

in the night <3571-nux->; and they that be drunken <3184-methuo-

> are drunken <3184-methuo-> in the night <3571-nux->.

8 But let us, who <3588-ho-> are of the day <2250-hemera->, be

sober <3525-nepho->, putting <1746-enduo-> on <1746-enduo-> the

breastplate <2382-thorax-> of faith <4102-pistis-> and love

<0026-agape->; and for an helmet <4030-perikephalaia->, the hope

<1680-elpis-> of salvation <4991-soteria->.

9 For God <2316-theos-> hath not appointed <5087-tithemi-> us

to wrath <3709-orge->, but to obtain <4047-peripoiesis->

salvation <4991-soteria-> by our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->,

10 Who <3588-ho-> died <0599-apothnesko-> for us, that, whether

<1535-eite-> we wake <1127-gregoreuo-> or <1535-eite-> sleep

<2518-katheudo->, we should live <2198-zao-> together <0260-hama-

> with him.

11. Wherefore <1352-dio-> comfort <3870-parakaleo-> yourselves

<0240-allelon-> together <0240-allelon->, and edify <3618-

oikodomeo-> one <1520-heis-> another <1520-heis->, even <2531-

kathos-> as also <2532-kai-> ye do <4160-poieo->.

12 And we beseech <2065-erotao-> you, brethren <0080-adephos->,

to know <1492-eido-> them which <3588-ho-> labour <2872-kopiao->

among <1722-en-> you, and are over <4291-proistemi-> you in the

Lord <2962-kurios->, and admonish <3560-noutheteo-> you;

13 And to esteem <2233-hegeomai-> them very <5228-huper->

highly <4053-perissos-> in love <0026-agape-> for their work's

<2041-ergon-> sake. [And] be at <1722-en-> peace <1518-

eirenopoios-> among <1722-en-> yourselves <1438-heautou->.

14 Now <1161-de-> we exhort <3870-parakaleo-> you, brethren

<0080-adephos->, warn <3560-noutheteo-> them that are unruly

<0813-ataktos->, comfort <3888-paramutheomai-> the feebleminded

<3642-oligopsuchos->, support <0472-antechomai-> the weak <0772-

asthenes->, be patient <3114-makrothumeo-> toward <4314-pros->

all <3956-pas-> [men].

15 See <3708-horao-> that none <5100-tis-> render <0591-

apodidomi-> evil <2556-kakos-> for evil <2556-kakos-> unto any

<5100-tis-> [man]; but ever <3842-pantote-> follow <1377-dioko->

that which <3588-ho-> is good <0018-agathos->, both <2532-kai->

among <1519-eis-> yourselves <1438-heautou->, and to all <3956-

pas-> [men].

16. Rejoice <5463-chairo-> evermore <3842-pantote->.

17 Pray <4336-proseuchomai-> without <0089-adialeiptos->

ceasing <0089-adialeiptos->.

18 In every <3956-pas-> thing give thanks <2168-eucharisteo->:

for this <5124-touto-> is the will <2307-thelema-> of God <2316-

theos-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->

concerning <1519-eis-> you.

19 Quench <4570-sbennumi-> not the Spirit <4151-pneuma->.

20 Despise <1848-exoutheneo-> not prophesyings <4394-propheteia-

21 Prove <1381-dokimazo-> all <3956-pas-> things; hold <2722-

katecho-> fast <2722-katecho-> that which <3588-ho-> is good

<2570-kalos->.

22 Abstain <0567-apechomai-> from all <3956-pas-> appearance

<1491-eidos-> of evil <4190-poneros->.

23. And the very <0846-autos-> God <2316-theos-> of peace <1515-

eirene-> sanctify <0037-hagiazo-> you wholly <3651-holoteles->;

and [I pray God] your <3588-ho-> whole <3648-holokleros-> spirit

<4151-pneuma-> and soul <5590-psuche-> and body <4983-soma-> be

preserved <5083-tereo-> blameless <0274-amemptos-> unto the

coming <3952-parousia-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.

24 Faithful <4103-pistos-> [is] he that calleth <2564-kaleo->

you, who <3739-hos-> also <2532-kai-> will do <4160-poieo-> [it].

25 Brethren <0080-adephos->, pray <4336-proseuchomai-> for us.

26 Greet <0782-aspazomai-> all <3956-pas-> the brethren <0080-

adephos-> with an holy <0040-hagios-> kiss <5370-philema->.

27 I charge <3726-horkizo-> you by the Lord <2962-kurios-> that

this <3588-ho-> epistle <1992-epistole-> be read <0314-

anaginosko-> unto all <3956-pas-> the holy <0040-hagios->

brethren <0080-adephos->.

28 The grace <5485-charis-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> [be] with you. Amen <0281-

amen->.
