Jesus

And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.

whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.

withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;

For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judæa in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;

who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and please not God, and are contrary to all men;

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s minister in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;

for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you;

to the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk,—that ye abound more and more.

For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
