11  Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus unto the church of the 
Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .

12  Grace unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord 
Jesus Christ .

13  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 .

14  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 .

15  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 .

16  Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense 
tribulation to them that trouble you .

17  And to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus 
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels .

18  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God 
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ .

19  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the 
presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power .

110  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 .

111  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 .

112  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 .

* 21  Now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord 
Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto him .

22  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 .

23  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 .

24  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 .

25  Remember ye not that when I was yet with you I told you 
these things .

26  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed 
in his time .

27  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work only he who 
now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way .

28  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 .

29  Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all 
power and signs and lying wonders .

210  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that 
perish because they received not the love of the truth that they 
might be saved .

211  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that 
they should believe a lie .

212  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth 
but had pleasure in unrighteousness .

213  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 .

214  Whereunto he called you by our gospel to the obtaining of 
the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ .

215  Therefore brethren stand fast and hold the traditions which 
ye have been taught whether by word or our epistle .

216  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 .

217  Comfort your hearts and stablish you in every good word and 
work .

* 31  Finally brethren pray for us that the word of the Lord may 
have free course and be glorified even as it is with you .

32  And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked 
men for all men have not faith .

33  But the Lord is faithful who shall stablish you and keep you 
from evil .

34  And we have confidence in the Lord touching you that ye both 
do and will do the things which we command you .

35  And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and 
into the patient waiting for Christ .

36  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 .

37  For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us for we behaved 
not ourselves disorderly among you .

38  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 .

39  Not because we have not power but to make ourselves an 
ensample unto you to follow us .

310  For even when we were with you this we commanded you that 
if any would not work neither should he eat .

311  For we hear that there are some which walk among you 
disorderly working not at all but are busybodies .

312  Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord 
Jesus Christ that with quietness they work and eat their own 
bread .

313  But ye brethren be not weary in well doing .

314  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 .

315  Yet count him not as an enemy but admonish him as a brother 
.

316  Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all 
means The Lord be with you all .

317  The salutation of Paul with mine own hand which is the 
token in every epistle so I write .

318  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all Amen .
