Chapter 1
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.

1 ¶ 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.

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 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. <<The second epistle to the
Thessalonians
was written from Athens.>>
