God

For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ;

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;

so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure;

which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,

rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power;

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
